Food Drives
There are many ways we obtain food, but one important way is through food drives. We rely on groups, businesses, faith communities, places of employment, friends and other locations to help us collect food donations. The food you collect through a food drive is very important in providing food to hungry people throughout our state.
You can be a part by simply hosting a food drive. Contact us and we can provide some helpful tips, fliers that provide a list of regular food needs, and potentially barrels to collect the food in. And, keep in mind that food drives can be held any time. We want to make it convenient for you and your organization to host a food drive at any time of year. We need help year round, so hosting a food drive in the spring and summer is just as important to us as during the holidays.
Be sure to contact us three weeks prior to your anticipated start date. That way we can provide some of the tools you will need to host a successful drive.

We understand that everyone may not be able to host a food drive for many reasons. For those unable to host a food drive, but still want to contribute food, feel free to bring your food donation directly to the Food Bank during our business hours. If you are bringing in a few bags of food, visit our main lobby. If you have a vehicle filled with food, please enter through the south gate and pull into one of our first available docks. Come into the warehouse so we know you have arrived. For vehicle filled food donations, please call us in advance so we are prepared to unload your vehicle at 505.349.8841.
