Be a Hunger Hero Volunteer for the ILIA Food Drive

Got ideas? Passionate about preventing hunger? Not sure how?

The ILIA Food Drive, a youth-led initiative tackling food insecurity in Baltimore and beyond. Join me and other cool young people like you to make a dent! You’ll learn tons of legit stuff that’ll help you in life—real skills, real leadership—and get a jump-start on your career while making the world a better place. Let’s go!

Every month, we distribute groceries to many families—and with your help, we can do more.

What’s Needed Right Now

This isn’t just about moving boxes. You’ll be part of a team working on real solutions to hunger:

Food Packing & Distribution – Sort donations, assemble care packages, and help deliver to families.
Outreach & Awareness – Design flyers, post on socials, or give mini-talks at school/mosque.
Community Mapping – Identify food deserts and build routes to get food where it’s needed most.
Organizing & Planning – Create schedules, assign teams, plan logistics.
Strategic Problem Solving – Help improve how we collect, store, and distribute supplies.
