The Weekend Backpack Program offers relief – and hope – for kids struggling with hunger in Franklin. This collaboration with Franklin Public Schools hopes to improve comprehension, attendance and grades by providing weekend food to kids in need.

“And to you volunteers who gave your measure of devotion to those suffering from food insecurity, we give you our heartfelt thanks.” Volunteers donated more than 5,000 hours of service to the Pantry last year.

This year marks 13 years for the Franklin Food Elves “12 Days of Donating” Drive benefiting the Pantry. Check out how the Elves will be helping their neighbors in need this holiday season.

The Franklin Turkey Trot and 5K Family Fun Run has become a favorite holiday tradition for many runners, families and groups on Thanksgiving morning. Help us kick off this holiday by joining in the fun on November 22!

Last year we distributed nearly 22,526 bags of groceries to 1,000 individuals. Monetary donations allow us to supplement food donations with fresh food and other essentials. Please help us fill some grocery bags.
