Host a Food Drive:
Easy, Fun, and Impactful!

Looking for a simple way to make a big difference? Hosting a food or fund drive is a great way to help your neighbors, bring people together, and nourish our community—all while having fun!

​

Why Host a Food Drive?

When you host a food or fund drive, you’re helping stock the shelves of local families who need it most. Plus, it’s a great way to:

  • Make a difference in your community

  • Bring people together for a great cause

  • Raise awareness about food insecurity

How to Host a Food Drive

It’s easier than you think! Here’s how:

​

  1. Pick a Date & Location

    Choose a spot where people can easily drop off donations—at your office, school, neighborhood, or even virtually!

  2. Tell Us

    Give us a heads-up by filling out the form below. That way, we can help share it and give you support. 

  3. Spread the Word

    Shout it out! Use social media, email, flyers, or even a megaphone to inform everyone. Be sure to share the most needed items (like canned soup, pasta, and peanut butter).

  4. Have Fun!

    Turn your food drive into a friendly competition, or give it a theme! As the donations roll in, celebrate every contribution. Snap some photos, share your progress, and keep the excitement going!

  5. Schedule Your Drop Off

    Once your drive is complete, schedule a time with SVFB to drop off your donations. This ensures we are not multitasking when you arrive and can help unload. 

Get Creative: Fund Drives & More Ways to Give

Fund Drives

Want to make an even bigger impact? A Fund Drive is a great way to show your support! Financial donations allow us to purchase food at discounted rates, stretching every dollar further. Plus, some employers offer matching gift programs, doubling the impact of your contribution!

​​

Wish List Donations

Another easy option: shop from our Amazon Wish List and have food sent directly to us. Just leave your food drive name in the comment section when you check out. It’s a simple way to make sure we receive exactly what’s needed to nourish our community.
