Donate to Local Charities with One Box Challenge
One Box Challenge is a charitable organization that supports Iowa City area nonprofits. Each month, we ask members of the community to add one box or one item to their shopping list and those items are donated to local charities. We choose a new charity to support each month.
This month's challenge
This month's One Box Challenge is to collect cereal, granola bars, and canned fruit. These will be widely distributed throughout the county to help with summer hunger. It will be distributed to the Neighborhood Crisis Centers, Open Heartland, IC CommUnity Pantry and Antelope Lending Library.
Donation Pick Up or Delivery:
You can email One Box Challenge at oneboxchallenge@gmail.com to arrange porch pickup of your donation on the 4th Tuesday of the month. Or you can ship your donation directly to One Box Challenge from your favorite retailer or dropoff your donation. Please email us at oneboxchallenge@gmail.com for details.
