Food Drives

Host A 'Theme' Food Drive!

Consider hosting a food drive this season.  Donations from schools, community organizations, businesses and individuals provide many meals for those in need in our community.

Collect food in many ways such as:

1) Neighborhood drives

2) Family Reunions

3) Dinner Parties/BBQ

4) Holiday Parties

5) Businesses "Pick A Week" challenge for employees

6) School Event

7) Boy and Girl Scout

8) Sport Teams

9) Church Drive

10) Birthday Parties

 

It’s fun and you can design a theme around your food drive with contests, categories, etc.

 

Host an Italian dinner theme food drive, or perhaps a Sunday breakfast theme.

How about a healthy fruits and snacks for kids theme?

Or a 4th of July Summer Meal plan.

 

Be as creative as you dare!

You can organize it any way you like and we can help guide you along the way. We have a group of individuals who are here to support you.  Simply call or email to inform us of your intent to host a food drive and we will coordinate any assistance you may need.  We can also assist with handouts, signs, picking up the donations & more.
 
Why?
 
1. Did we say it was fun!
2. Our shelves get pretty bare in the summertimeFrown 
3. You’ll feel good about helping others in your community.
4. There is a real need for food donations so we can continue to serve our clients with a variety of healthy food items.
5. No one should go hungry.
