Help fill STEP’s shelves with your own food drive. We rely heavily on community-led food drives, large and small.

What we need:

• STEP needs everyday non-perishable and household items that you use in your household. Think of your favorite meal ingredients, the spices you cook with all the time, and the healthy foods you and/or your family eat regularly.

• STEP accepts fresh garden produce.

• STEP also needs everyday non-food household items, such as toilet paper, paper towels, napkins, and cleaning products.

What we don’t need:

• STEP does not accept perishable items (refrigerated or frozen), used, open, damaged, or outdated food. Please carefully check expiration dates before donating items to STEP.

Where to donate:

Please drop off donations to STEP during our business hours at the back of the building. Pull up in the alley to the red door and ring the doorbell. A volunteer will answer, take your donations, and provide you with a receipt. If donating more than 200 pounds of food, please call STEP to schedule a drop-off time. 

Donations can also be left in the Donation Bins in front of the Knollwood and West End Cub Foods.
