2026 Community Food Drive

Help Us Fill the Truck at Rensselaer Honda's Fall Food Drive

A few extra items in your grocery cart can make a meaningful difference for someone in our community.

We're inviting our neighbors, customers, friends, and families to help us fill the truck with food for people who need it. Every donation counts, and every donor receives a little something from us in return.
