Host A Food Drive

  • Virtual Food Drive

Thank you for thinking of Freestore Foodbank for your food drive! Unfortunately at this time, we are not holding any physical food drives. If you are interested in participating in a Virtual Food Drive, we would love to have you join us in our effort!

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 only 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.

If you have already begun collecting shelf stable items, please consider donating the items to one of our community partners. Freestore Foodbank works with 574 food pantries throughout the 20 counties we serve. Find a community partner near you >

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.
