Join the Pioneers in Dish It Up: Feeding Families Healthy Food

In celebration of the Pioneers 100 years of service, volunteerism and philanthropy, Pioneers are joining together for one of the biggest volunteer efforts in our history. Pioneers Dish It Up aims to feed one million people across the U.S. and Canada who face the daily challenge of “food insecurity.”

Pioneers are volunteering in hundreds of cities across North America and we are inviting you to help make a difference.

Between September 11th and 25th, join Pioneers in addressing the hunger issue by participating in the Pioneers Dish It Up project, which includes a healthy food drive, as well as other service projects aimed at feeding the hungry. 

You can help by donating non-perishable, healthy, nutritious food for local food banks.  In partnership with Feeding America, and its network of member food banks, a list has been compiled of the most requested foods that also fall into the “healthy” category.  We ask that you donate one of the foods included on our food list

We hope that you will join us in this project.  By dropping your donated food
in the Dish It Up collection receptacles or by making a cash contribution online you can help us succeed in our goal of feeding one million people

Volunteer efforts are occurring in almost every state and many provinces, so sign up today! To find a Dish It Up project in your area visit VolunteerNow!, enter your company preference (if any), your state, click search and look for Dish It Up under the Health and Human Services category.

Together, we can help make a difference!
