Looking for a meaningful way to give back to your community?
Hosting your own fundraiser is a wonderful way to support the Newport Food Pantry while doing something that feels personal and fun to you.
The best part is there is no single “right” way to help. Your event can be as big or as small, as simple or as creative, as you would like. It’s your idea, your way!
We love seeing the creativity and generosity of our community. Fundraisers can look like:
- A birthday or anniversary fundraiser
- A friendly competition at work or school
- A neighborhood gathering or community event
- A seasonal drive or challenge
- Something completely unique to you
Check out the O’Halloran Group’s ULTRA 1K – a yearly event that supports our food pantry! It’s a great example of what creativity – and a few steps! – can do to help others.
If it brings people together and supports neighbors facing hunger, we are all for it.
Please keep us in the loop! If you are thinking about hosting an event or already have an idea in mind, we would love to hear from you. Sharing your plans helps us support your efforts and stay connected. We can help you promote – sharing it on our social media, through our donor network, and on our website.

You do not need to have all the details figured out. A quick note about what you are thinking is more than enough to start the conversation.
How can you best support us through your fundraising effort?
While food donations are always appreciated, monetary gifts have the greatest impact. Financial donations allow the food pantry to:
- Purchase food in bulk at lower costs
- Respond quickly to changing needs
- Provide fresh and nutritious options for families
Your event can raise funds in whatever way feels right to you, knowing that every dollar helps us stretch our resources further. Thank you for supporting our neighbors.
Community-led events play a vital role in helping the Newport Food Pantry serve neighbors throughout the year. Whether you are celebrating something special or simply looking for a way to give back, your effort makes a real difference.
We are grateful for your support and excited to see the ways our community continues to show up for one another.
