Food & Fund Drives
Community sponsored fund and food drives are vital to Food Bank operations. Contributions from businesses, schools, churches, community organizations and individuals generate thousands of meals for families, children and seniors each year.
Start a Fund Drive
Did you know?
Because of our buying power and ability to source food, the Food Bank can make a dollar go a long way. In fact, every dollar donated allows us to provide two meals’ worth of food to those in need. That’s one reason why we encourage supporters to consider hosting a fund drive to benefit the Food Bank.
Fund drives can be a ton of fun for everyone involved! Host a bike race and ask friends to donate for every mile you ride, team build at work and challenge co-workers to raise money for the Food Bank or maybe celebrate your birthday and ask friends to donate in your honor. The sky’s the limit. All you need to do is register to get started.
Thanks to our grocery rescue program and our membership in the Feeding America network, financial donations can help us acquire large amounts of food to distribute to our clients.
