Over 140,000 can collected this year!

Thank you to the hundreds of volunteers and donators who support the Greg Gannon Canned Food Drive. We have collected over 2 million cans in 32 years!

We are sorry if your bag was missed by our teams who were out all weekend long sweeping the neighborhoods. If you still have a donation PLEASE drop it off at your local parish, food bank or shelter.

Thank you for supporting the Greg Gannon Canned Food Drive!

Happy holidays from Rick Gannon and the GGCFD team!

It’s not just about the food

For more than 30 years, schools and communities from the Archdiocese of Washington have come together to help those in need. Each December, families from across the region collect canned goods from friends and neighbors as part of the annual Greg Gannon Canned Food Drive. What started as a labor of love has grown to more than 15 communities having donated nearly 2 million food items to the hungry.
