Fresno residents have a fresh opportunity to help neighbors in need, thanks to a community-minded partnership between FOX26 and Grocery Outlet. The two organizations have joined forces for a food drive aimed squarely at fighting hunger across the Central Valley.

The “Tackle Hunger” food drive brings together the reach of a local television station and the community presence of a popular discount grocery chain to collect donations for those who need them most. Efforts like this one play a vital role in keeping Fresno-area food banks and pantries stocked, especially as families feel the pinch of rising grocery costs.

Food drives of this kind rely on the generosity of everyday Fresno residents — shoppers dropping a canned good into a collection bin, neighbors spreading the word, and volunteers lending their time. When a media outlet and a local retailer combine their platforms, the result is typically a significant boost in both awareness and donations, making a real difference for families facing food insecurity in the region.

Fresno has a strong tradition of community members stepping up to support one another, and partnerships like the one between FOX26 and Grocery Outlet reflect that spirit. Whether you stop by a participating Grocery Outlet location to donate non-perishable items or simply share the word with friends and family, every contribution helps ensure that more Central Valley residents have access to nutritious food.

Keep an eye on FOX26 for updates on the drive’s progress and information on where and how to donate. Together, Fresno can make a meaningful dent in local hunger — one can at a time.
