2026 Catholic Schools Week Food Fight Competition

It’s time for our 2nd Annual Catholic Schools Week Food Fight Competition! As a way of making a difference within the communities we serve, participating Catholic schools are teaming up with Gleaners during Catholic Schools Week (CSW) to collect food and funds to provide nourishing meals to individuals and families experiencing food insecurity. During CSW 2025, participating schools were able to provide over 28,000 meals to our neighbors!

CSW is an annual U.S. celebration of Catholic education, typically held the last Sunday in January through the following Saturday (Jan. 25–31, 2026, for the main event), featuring Masses, open houses, and community events to highlight faith, academic excellence, and service. It’s a time for schools to showcase their unique mission and contributions to the Church and nation.

If your Catholic school is interested in participating, please fill out the following submission form and a Gleaners team member will respond to you within 1-2 business days. You can find your school’s virtual food drive page here. If you’re an alum or parent of a student that attends a Catholic school that is not participating and would like to contribute to the 2026 Catholic Schools Week Food Fight Competition to assist Gleaners with feeding our neighbors, please visit our virtual page to make a monetary donation.

If you have any further questions, please email bsewell@gcfb.org.
