A small act of kindness can make a big difference for a family in need. Whether it is a can of soup, a box of pasta, or a bag of groceries, every donation is an opportunity to help someone in your community. This holiday season, Circle City ABA invites families, staff, and community members to participate in our 2026 Food Drive: Give a Little. Help a Lot.
Our participating ABA therapy centers across Arizona, Georgia, Indiana, Iowa, and Nebraska will serve as food donation drop-off locations. Together, we hope to collect food and help support local families during the holiday season.

Teach Children the Importance of Giving Back
The holiday season offers a wonderful opportunity to talk with children about kindness, generosity, and helping others. A food drive is a simple way to involve children in giving back to their community. For example, you might invite your child to help choose a few food items at the grocery store. At home, they could help count donations, sort items into a bag, or carry a small item into the collection area.
These activities can also create natural opportunities to practice making choices, following directions, communicating, and participating in everyday routines. At Circle City ABA, we believe meaningful learning can happen through everyday experiences. Community activities like a food drive offer families another way to spend time together while helping others.
