In a heartwarming display of community spirit, Associated Grocers has once again joined forces with WBRZ for the annual 2 The Pantry food drive. This year’s campaign aims to support the St. Vincent de Paul Dining Room, a vital institution that provides essential meals to those in need.

The Power of Partnership

The collaboration between Associated Grocers and WBRZ is a testament to the power of partnership. By combining their resources and influence, these organizations are able to amplify the impact of their efforts and reach a wider audience.

How to Participate

Throughout the month of September, participating Associated Grocers retail member stores will be collecting non-perishable food items in specially marked boxes. Donors can also contribute to the cause by using the QR code provided on printed materials at Associated Grocers stores.


The St. Vincent de Paul Dining Room, established in 1982, is a cornerstone of the community. Located at 220 St. Vincent de Paul Place, the dining room serves a hot, nutritious meal every day of the year, as well as a brown bag supper. By donating to 2 The Pantry, you are directly helping to ensure that individuals and families in need have access to this vital resource.  

The 2 The Pantry food drive is a powerful reminder of the importance of coming together to support our community. By participating in this campaign, you can make a tangible difference in the lives of those who rely on the St. Vincent de Paul Dining Room. Let’s work together to build a stronger, more compassionate community.
