Help Feed Our Community: November Canned Food Drive

Y volunteers sorting canned food items
October 29, 2026

This November, the West Suburban YMCA is partnering with local food pantries to help support individuals and families facing food insecurity. From November 2-20, we invite our members and community to take part in our Canned Food Drive by donating unexpired canned goods at either WSYMCA branch.

Small acts of kindness can make a big difference. Every can donated helps stock local pantry shelves and provides essential food items to neighbors in need during the holiday season.

How to Participate

Dates: November 2-20 
Drop-Off Locations: Church Street and Wells Avenue branches 
Requested Donations: Unexpired canned food items only

Please Note: We are unable to accept boxed or packaged food. Donations must be canned goods only.

Suggested canned food items include:

Canned Vegetables 
Canned Fruit 
Soup 
Canned Beans 
Tuna and canned proteins 
Other shelf-stable canned foods

Together, we can help ensure local food pantries have the resources they need to serve our community. Thank you for supporting this important effort and helping make a difference for our neighbors this season.

Donate November 2-20 at either WSYMCA branch and help us fill the shelves for local food pantries!
