Hosting a Food Drive

We’ve created resources to help you multiply your impact on hunger by hosting a food drive! And you don’t need to be part of a large organization to do it. In addition to corporate and large group food drives, many of you have organized drives in your neighborhoods, families, or friend groups. This is also a great family activity for kiddos that aren't old enough yet to volunteer at the pantry, or for high schoolers doing community service hours!

This personal food drive kit is perfect for neighborhoods, families, or friend groups. It includes step by step instructions, a list of the most needed items at the pantry, and an invitation that you can edit and send to your participants (or print and staple to a paper bag left on their doorstep).  

We rely heavily on the great work our local businesses and clubs do to support the pantry. Here is all the information you need to host a corporate or large group food drive at your place of work or with your club.
