Organize a Food Drive
Food drives generate thousands of pounds of food every year and engage the community in our mission of alleviating hunger. For more information on food drives, contact Deb McGeorge at (541) 343-2822, or email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address).
Seven Steps to a Successful Drive
- Pick a theme: Get participants excited with an inspiring theme, such as "Cans for Tans", "CANstruction" or "Chili Round Up!"
- Set a date: Pick beginning and ending dates for your drive. Two weeks duration is usually about right.
- Set a goal: Ask participants to fill and return paper bags and have each person donate three to five cans. Or set an organization-wide weight goal that is achievable.
- Order barrels: Contact Alice Stoner at FOOD for Lane County at (541) 343-2822 or email .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) to order barrels.
- Collect food: Create incentives. Whoever brings the most food wins a pizza. Have teams compete with each other or with teams from another organization.
- Fill out a report form: Use our Food and Fund Drive Report Form to report how many pounds and dollars you collected. Send the form to FFLC or give it to one of our drivers.
- Deliver donation to FFLC: Or call Alice Stoner at (541) 343-2822 to arrange for food and fund pick-up ahead of time.
