Host a Food Drive
You can make a difference in the lives of low-income families, seniors and individuals threatened by hunger. Please help us reach our goal of distributing 6 million pounds of food this year.
Hosting a food drive is easy! You pick the dates; we deliver the food barrels to your office, place of worship or school; and then we pick up the full barrels when your drive is over.
You can also collect financial contributions during your food drive. With every $1 donated, the Food Bank can distribute $8 worth of groceries, fresh produce, bread, dairy products and meat into the community. You can donate online, print out a donation form or write a check.
Our Food Drive Kit contains information on organizing a food drive, how to register, a sample shopping list and information on ordering additional barrels for your current food drive. Click here to download the kit.
