Help feed your community by hosting a food drive with your congregation, office, or school - it's easy! Be sure to register your food drive to ensure a painless event.
Host a Healthy Food Drive
Health and hunger are intimately linked. People who are food insecure are disproportionately affected by diet-related chronic diseases, including diabetes and blood pressure.
Host a Food and Fund Drive
Consider raising food AND funds! For every $1 donated, we are able to purchase $9 worth of food at wholesalers and the local food bank. If you would like to set up an online fundraiser contact Teri@GoBeyondHunger.org.
Host a Supplies Drive
Households receiving SNAP benefits (food stamps) are restricted to only USDA approved food staples. Important items like diapers, feminine products and cleaning products are not included. And, luxury items are often too expensive on a limited budget. Get creative with your drive and consider the following:
- Specialty Items
- Spices and Oils (All purpose, Italian, garlic powder, salt/pepper, Adobo, oregano, onion powder, cumin)
- Holiday baking kits
- Household:
- Diapers - all sizes for children and adults
- Feminine products
