If you've got space to host a food drive, Punx With Purpose could use your help.
The Salem nonprofit helps at-risk youth through street outreach. They're in need of donations for their mobile food pantry, which gives food to young people in need.
Top needs include meat, refried beans, high-protein foods like nut butters and protein bars, cereal, pasta and pasta sauce, dairy products, frozen vegetables and mac and cheese. To become a drive host, contact Hailey at 971-397-3817.
