Food Donations
Give Food. Give Toys. Give Joy.
We're proud to once again partner with the Alameda County Community Food Bank as the official Food Drive Host for 2025 — and this holiday season, we're adding even more joy by collecting new, unwrapped toys for Toys for Tots!Want to donate? You can drop off non-perishable food until the end of the year and new, unwrapped toys until December 10, 2025 at any of our 1st United branches. It's an easy way to spread kindness and make a difference right here in our community.
Be a part of the cause by hosting your own food drive in your local community.
United we are stronger!
