Making a Difference: Food & Water Drive

About this Event

We're participating in a water drive with The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, who distributes over 3,400 water bottles daily and a food drive with Glendale's Hometown Christmas Parade, benefiting Hope for Hunger, who provides emergency food for 130 families every day!

We're collecting donations from Monday, October 28-Wednesday, November 27, at noon. You can bring cases of water bottles, and nonperishable food items or cash/check donations to the WeMAR office, or you can donate with your credit/debit card here on the website by clicking "register." To give a different amount than what's listed, please contact WeMAR. Your monetary donation will be split between the two organizations.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul

Water is a huge need for our homeless, not just in the summer heat, but every day. Without water, homeless individuals may face illnesses and death. Every day, thousands of guests visit The Society of St. Vicent de Paul's five Valley dining rooms and downtown campus. Many guests need bottled water to take with them when they go out to look for employment and housing. Your donation will help keep the homeless hydrated. learn more about The Society of St. Vincent de Paul
