Food Drive & Holiday Food Baskets

…an Enduring Tradition.

Since Philo’s inception in 1918, the organization has provided holiday food baskets for local families in
need. Currently, members coordinate a canned food drive within Thompson School District, partnering
directly with local schools to collect food. All food stays in the Loveland/Berthoud community in our
partnership with House of Neighborly Service, which distributes the food.

Canned Food Drive

Philo coordinates the collection of canned food at local schools.
During the month of November, participating schools collect non-perishable food, personal hygiene, and baby items.
With the help of Exodus Moving company, Philo collects the food in early December and delivers
it to House of Neighborly Service’s Food Pantry.
Philo also donates grocery store gift cards for families to purchase perishable food.
Our membership also donates toys to House of Neighborly Service’s Christmas Store, so parents are able to select a toy for their children.
