This year, the Liberty Community Christmas Tree program has received applications from a record number of families, children and senior households who need assistance. Our program runs off of community donations - both monetary and non-perishable food! Each household in the LCCT program receives 3 boxes full of donated food and the food drive is critical to making this happen.
Make a secure monetary donation online here:
Donate to the food drive - Individuals can donate food to the LCCT food drive by dropping off canned and non-perishable food goods to the Liberty Community Center, all of the LPS schools and Liberty City Hall. The food drive will run throughout the month of November.
Collect food as a group - You can coordinate a food drive through your neighborhood, church, business, etc. to collect food donations. All collected food items need to be brought to Heritage Hall on Monday, Dec. 9. Reach out to the program coordinator (LCCT@libertymo.gov) for more details.
