Get into the holiday spirit with us for our 2025 Christmas in July Food Drive! Join us Saturday-Sunday, July 26th-27th, on Lake Hopatcong and in Highlands, NJ.
Summer is often a tough time of year for food pantries, which typically experience dwindling donations between June and July. Plus, with kids home from school for summer vacation, food pantries are in even higher demand and need extra support. That’s why we’re happy to be hosting our third annual Christmas in July Food Drive to help support our local community in partnership with Sparta Community Food Pantry. Please stop by our docks on Saturday or Sunday, July 26-27th, from 9am to 5pm, to donate and receive a free gift from us as our way of saying thank you.
What to Donate to Our Christmas in July Food Drive:
The Sparta Community Food Pantry is currently holding its Summer Snack Program, which helps parents feed their children while they are home from school over the summer. All items are welcome! Here’s a few things you can donate to our Christmas in July Food Drive to help:
