Food & Fund Drives

Food and fund drives play an essential role in our ability to distribute consistent, diverse, and nutritious food. They supply more than 150,000 meals to neighbors in need each year and lend variety to the bulk staples food pantries receive.

Donated funds allow EFN to purchase food in bulk, solicit food donations, and transport food to pantries all over the county. If you’re looking for a way to support Emergency Food Network from your home or work – consider hosting a virtual or in-person food and fund drive!

Register your virtual or in-person food drive today!

Host an in-person food drive

Register your food drive! Once you’re registered, you’ll be put in touch with our Volunteer Coordinator, who can help you get organized.

You can also set up a customized fundraising page to easily collect and keep track of any monetary donations you receive. 

Host a Virtual Food & Fund Drive

Hosting a virtual food drive is a simple way to make a big impact! Create a customized fundraising page and share it on social media or through email. Every dollar donated helps us get the food our Partner Programs need most – just $1 can provide 2 meals for neighbors in need!
