Make it your Lenten practice to give the gift of food to those in need in our community.

By hosting a food and fundraising drive, your parish, school or community organization can have a huge impact on the 1 in 4 children, 1 in 4 seniors and 1 in 5 adults who face hunger in our community.

Help us reach our goal of collecting 8,000 pounds of food - sign up today.

• Plan your drive with our Lent Coordinator’s Kit.
  
• Sign up for barrel delivery and pickup using our online registration form.
  
• Promote your drive with these materials:

We can replace full barrels with empty barrels as your organization fills them up. Please allow 2 to 3 days to schedule a swap.

Request an additional barrel with our online form or

Increase the impact of your drive by raising financial donations in addition to collecting food.

With every $1 donated, the Food Bank can distribute $6 worth of groceries, fresh produce, bread, dairy products and meat.
