Did you know that 1 in 8 households in the United States are currently facing food insecurity? That means that many families in our community do not have sufficient access to quality food and other basic needs. At Weed Man, we’re proud to be locally owned and operated right here in Aurora, and we strive to make a difference for people in need – right in our own backyard! That’s why we want to invite our customers to participate in our 2024 fall food drive: Grassroots Giving!

What to Donate

From September 3 to October 18, 2024, we’re partnering with Burlington Hampshire Area Food Pantry to collect donations of the following items:

• Variety cereals (no oatmeal at this time)   

• Canned mix fruit  

• Ketchup  

• Cans of kidney beans  

• Canned pears  

• Ramen noodles 

• Variety crackers

• Cans or bottles of juice (quarts or 1/2gals.) 

• Laundry detergents

• Hand dishwashing soap

• Bathroom tissues

• Facial tissues

How to Donate

Donating is easy! 

1. The day before your next lawn care application during our Grassroots Giving campaign, you will receive a text or email reminder about your next service. 

2. During our visit, simply leave any food items for donation outside your front door (preferably in a box or bag). 

3. Your Weed Man technician will collect all items while they are there to complete your service. 

4. All donations will benefit our friends at Burlington Hampshire Area Food Pantry!

We hope you’ll join us in the fight against food insecurity in our community!
