Food drives play a vital role in helping us to serve those in need in our community. You can make a major impact by organizing a food drive on our behalf.
About 1/3 of our yearly food collection comes from individual donations and community food drives.
The goal of food drives is to bring in as many non-perishable essential items as possible to help us fill our nutritionally sound “staple boxes” distributed to Food Bank participants. There are a number of resources we can offer to help organize your food drive and make it successful, such as:
- Tips on how to host a successful food drive (sample emails and social media post templates included)
- flyers you can print out and hang to promote your drive
- a “Most Needed” items list to share with your group so they can donate needed products
- large collection boxes and brown grocery bags to collect donated items
- pick-up service for any collections too large to fit in a pick up truck
