Food Drive FAQs
How do I start a Food Drive?
Sharing your goals with your targeted community and networking is the way to go. Community members and businesses like to partner with causes which have openly shared the purpose for their collection.
When can I host a food drive?
You are welcome to host a food drive anytime of year! There is always a need for food, with a higher demand from November - March.
What items can be donated?
Dry shelf stable goods are preferred as they are able to keep longer than perishable donations. Please see the food drive flyers on our website for detailed information.
What if I have perishable donation items?
We understand that sometimes Community members like to donate cold perishable items, due to food safety concerns such as consistent temperatures we strongly advise against these types of donations.
Can we donate nonfood items?
You are welcome to do so, but please keep in mind that these should be provided directly to Community Partners as they have the volunteer staff available to sort and better determine the best use for those donations.
