Host a Food & Funds Drive

Host a Food & Funds Drive

Traditional food drives provide community members with the opportunity to donate nonperishable food items to the Food Bank, which in turn distributes that food to those most in need.

Through the support of a network of more than 1,000 partners, including community food drives, the Greater Cleveland Food Bank distributed 54 million pounds of food last year.

Another impactful way to support the Food Bank is by organizing a fundraiser to make a monetary donation in lieu of donating food. Spending $1 on a can of food can secure one small meal, but the Food Bank can stretch each dollar donated to help provide $9 of food, including perishable products such as fresh produce, low-fat dairy, and lean protein.

Organize an employee food or funds drive at your workplace and help feed hungry families in the communities we serve. We offer branded marketing materials and a speaker’s bureau, as well as a virtual food drive online donation system, allowing for easy and convenient "teamraising" opportunities.

A Virtual Food Drive is a fun, easy, interactive way to set a fundraising goal, solicit and collect donations online, and track your progress. We’ll give you the tools you need to fundraise at your company, school, organization, or among family and friends!
