Every year for the last eight years the question comes up, "So why are you guys asking for food donations in one of the most well-off states in the country?" Why? Because there are dozens of homeless shelters all over the state, individuals who are down on their luck, have lost a job, or need medication and can't afford to buy food.

This is why i95 is rolling out our 8th Annual Camping for Cans Food Drive this weekend to benefit Hillside Food Outreach and our goal is to shatter all the previous records over the last seven years, but to accomplish that feat, we really need your help!
