Attach a photo

Add a photo of this place

A picture of the building, the sign or the door helps someone know they are in the right place. A volunteer checks every photo before it appears.

Please do not photograph people. Nobody should have to worry that collecting food will put them in a picture on the internet.

A photo of the building, the sign, the entrance or the posted hours is what helps someone find the door.

JPEG, PNG or WebP, up to 6 MB. iPhone HEIC photos need to be shared or exported as JPEG first.

Helps the volunteer describe the picture. Never published as you wrote it.

Kept private and deleted 30 days after review. See privacy.
