What We do

The WSOY Community Food Drive is a volunteer-based annual event in Decatur, Illinois, dedicated to fighting hunger and supporting local food pantries. Held each October, the drive mobilizes schools, businesses, and community members to collect food and monetary donations, supplying food for nearly every food pantry in Decatur. What began as a grassroots effort has grown into one of the largest single-day food drives in the country, raising millions of pounds of food in its 25+ year history. Thanks to the support of our sponsors, every dollar raised goes to the cause.
