Can Roseville top 13,000 pounds? Succulents for Soups returns Nov. 12
Oct 29, 2026
Roseville residents have proven that a little generosity can go a long way. Last year, the community donated more than 13,000 pounds of food through Succulents for Soups, surpassing the combined total from the program's first two years.
Now, the challenge is on to make an even bigger impact.
Succulents for Soups returns November 12 through December 19, inviting residents to give back to local families while taking home a little something green in return.
Since launching in 2023, the annual food drive has collected more than 26,000 pounds of food, helping stock local pantries and support neighbors facing food insecurity. In 2025 alone, more than 400 succulents were shared with participating families.
Give a little. Grow a lot.
Participating is easy! Simply bring unopened, unexpired canned or nonperishable food to the Utility Exploration Center, 1501 Pleasant Grove Blvd., during regular public hours.
From canned soups and vegetables to pasta, rice, cereal, and peanut butter, everyday pantry staples can make a meaningful difference for local families.
As a thank-you, participating families can take home a complimentary succulent, while supplies last. These colorful, water-wise plants are a small reminder that thoughtful choices can make a lasting impact.
All donated food benefits St. Vincent de Paul of Roseville, which helps provide groceries to more than 2,000 local families each month.
Let's keep the generosity growing
Whether it's a few cans from your pantry, an extra bag of groceries, or a collection organized with friends and coworkers, every contribution helps.
Last year's success showed what's possible when Roseville comes together. This year, there's an opportunity to do even more.
