The holiday season is the perfect time to come together, lend a hand, and support neighbors who may be struggling. This year, GVT Tire & Auto in Corcoran, MN, is proud to partner with the City of Corcoran for their annual Holiday Toy & Food Drive — a community tradition focused on bringing hope and comfort to families during the winter months.
We’re excited to participate by serving as a drop-off location for non-perishable food items now through December 9th. If you’re stopping by for service, driving past the shop, or simply looking for a way to give back this season, we invite you to drop off a donation and help make a difference.
What We’re Collecting
We’re accepting non-perishable food items, which help local families enjoy warm meals during the holiday season. Items that are especially helpful include:
- Canned vegetables and fruit
- Soups and stews
- Pasta and rice
- Peanut butter
- Cereal and oatmeal
- Boxed meal kits
- Canned meats and proteins
Every can, bag, and box adds up and helps feed families right here in our community.
Supporting Cross Services in Rogers, MN
All food collected at GVT Tire & Auto in Corcoran will be donated to Cross Services in Rogers, Minnesota. Cross Services provides critical support to families experiencing food insecurity, offering groceries, hygiene essentials, and emergency assistance. By contributing to this food drive, you’re directly supporting their mission and helping ensure that families in our surrounding areas have what they need this holiday season.
A Community Effort That Matters
The holidays can be difficult for many families, especially with rising food costs and added seasonal expenses. Local food shelves like Cross Services see a surge in demand this time of year, which makes community support more important than ever. Even small donations can have a huge impact — a single bag of rice, a few cans of soup, or a box of cereal can help fill a pantry and bring comfort to a family in need.
How You Can Participate
Getting involved is easy, and every contribution helps:
- Bring non-perishable food items to GVT Tire & Auto in Corcoran
- Drop off donations anytime between now and December 9th
- Encourage neighbors, coworkers, and friends to join in
- Share the city’s food drive link to help spread the word
Whether you donate one item or several bags, your generosity makes a meaningful difference.
