Please Note: We do not deliver barrels or pick up donations on Saturdays or Sundays, unless the food drive is part of a larger event that has already received prior FBD approval.
In an effort to save money on transportation costs, the Food Bank asks that donations of fewer than 20 bags/boxes be dropped off at our facilities or statewide drop-off locations:
Food Bank of Delaware – Newark
222 Lake Drive
Newark, DE 19702
(Drop off donations in back of building near loading ramp)

Food Bank of Delaware – Milford

Milford, DE 19963
Hours: M-F: 8:30 a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
Please submit your form at least 3 working days prior to the day you want a barrel or a food drive pick up. Once you submit your form, a confirmation screen will appear.
PLEASE NOTE: OUR DELIVERY SCHEDULE FOR BARRELS AND FOOD DRIVE PICK UPS IS NOW BOOKED UNTIL AFTER THANKSGIVING.
