Supply Drives

Host a Food or Supply Drive!

Help our neighbors access the items they need to thrive. Ready to get started? Follow these simple steps to register and find a list of resources to help promote your drive. Please reference our wishlist for a list of items the Catherine McAuley Center is currently accepting.

Step 1: Register

Registering your drive helps our team know when drives are taking place, and what kinds of supplies are being collected so we can estimate inventory needs.

Step 2: Promotional Materials

Add your logo and the specifics of your drive
Our most popular pantry staples are listed on the flyer, but you may customize the list if you’re targeting a specific theme. Please contact [email protected] or call (319) 200-5067 for guidance on current critical needs.
