You can make a difference in the lives of low-income families, seniors and individuals threatened by hunger by holding a food or fundraising drive. Help us reach our goal of distributing enough food for 88,000 meals a day.

 

• Pick a date – we’ll deliver the food barrels to your office, place of worship or school (click here for a list of our barrel delivery days for each zip code).
• Fill the barrels up with food
• We pick up the barrels when your drive is over

Fuel and transportation costs remain high – so we’re asking that each food drive participant commit to collecting at least 100 pounds of food through their food drive (2/3 barrel). If your office is small, you can still help by:

• Hosting a fundraising drive
• Collecting food in your own containers and delivering it to the Food Bank
• Donating food at one of our drop-off locations

Please feel free to contact us for more information or ideas on how you can help.

You can also collect financial contributions during your food drive. With every $1 donated, the Food Bank can distribute $6 worth of groceries, fresh produce, bread, dairy products and meat into the community.
