Many of you have asked about us accepting food donations. At this time we are asking you to NOT conduct canned food drives. Doing so could add to the current challenges at the local grocers and require additional volunteers to sort and pack. We are accepting Virtual Food Drives at this time. Please fill out the form on this page and we will send you a link for you to share.
What’s a virtual food drive? Our most efficient, impactful food drive to get your friends, coworkers and family engaged to help fight hunger. Instead of going to the grocery store and buying canned food, especially during this uncertain time, we will help you create a link to encourage people to donate to the Freestore Foodbank to purchase food for our neighbors in need. To start a Virtual Food Drive, fill out this form and click send. When we receive your information, we will contact you soon to complete your Virtual Food Drive request. Once we’ve created your link, we encourage you to share it via social media and/or email.
Your online donations will be utilized to support the greatest needs of Freestore Foodbank including our distribution of emergency food boxes, pre-packed emergency grocery bags for the families served by our Liberty Street and our expanded Power Pack distribution which supports students who are eligible for free/reduced lunches at school. All donations stay locally and are supporting families served by Freestore’s 500+ food pantry network.
