Your collected food donations
help feed our neighbors in need this holiday season.
Thank you for thinking of the Food Bank. Follow these easy steps to ensure a successful drive at your school, office, nonprofit or neighborhood.
PLAN AHEAD
Set the date for your food drive and determine what types of food you’ll collect. Don’t forget to identify supplies that may be needed – collection boxes, signage etc.
SET YOUR GOAL
How much do you want to collect? Will you measure by boxes or pounds collected? Do you want to have a challenge with another department or class?

GET EVERYONE INVOLVED
Company management or governing boards can help motivate individuals by setting a standard for participation. Consider a match program where a company or individual matches what is collected with a cash donation.
PROMOTE YOUR DRIVE
Make signs, send e-mails – get the word out there! Make sure you let participants know what types of food products are being collected, where donations can be dropped off and how long the drive will last.
DELIVER YOUR DONATION
We are grateful for your support in helping us maximize our resources so we can ensure that our drivers’ time is spent out in the community hosting more food distributions for our neighbors in need.
