Hosting a food drive is fun and easy! And you'll be helping provide some critically needed items to those in need in our community.

Most Need food Items:

• Peanut butter, Cereal, Macaroni & cheese, Soup, Tuna, Any canned vegetable or fruit

Tips:

• Set a goal for the number of people you'd like to participate in the drive.
• Set a goal for the number of cans each person is responsible for bringing to the drive.
• Set out a collection box or barrel in a visible area. You can get boxes from the grocery store, or we can provide you with a barrel.
• Hang fliers and posters all around the collection area and any place that participants will see them. We can provide posters if you need them.
• Distribute a notice asking for the most needed items (see list above) to be placed in the box or barrel.
• Encourage departments or groups to compete to see who can collect the most cans of food. One company was able to get the boss to authorize extra time off for the winning team!
• Have fun! Enthusiasm and excitement are contagious, especially when the effort helps such a good cause.

If you have food to drop off please take it to Second Harvest at 922 Delaware Avenue.
