Thank you for your interest in hosting a food and/or essential needs drive!
Community-sponsored food and essentials drives are important sources of nutritious food and necessities for those we serve. We appreciate you and your support; we could not do what we do without YOU.
Because of our buying power and ability to source food, the Food Bank makes each dollar go a long way.
Fund drives (fundraisers) are fun for everyone and allow for the most creativity! Host a bike race and ask for donations per mile, team build at work, or celebrate a special occasion with “in honorarium” gifts. The options are endless!

Upon arrival, follow the signs to the donor/donations parking spots.
