Food Donation Guidelines

The following Guidelines are for community organizations wanting to donate non-perishable foods to Cabarrus County schools:

• Interested organizations must contact the School Nutrition Program and provide a preferred school meal site.
• Organizations can set up at schools on Fridays from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. to provide groceries for the weekend. 
• Distribution point can be set up at the end of the car rider line after the SNP meals pick-up spot. 
• Drive-Thru Only: Food must already be packed in order to be passed through a car window. 
• Organizations are responsible for signage and staffing.
• Limitation of 10 or less organization volunteers in a single location per government guidelines. 
• Leftover items must go back with the organization.
• SNP will maintain a master list of organizations distributing at schools but principals have the authority to grant or deny permission to any organization.
