Food & Fund Drives

Food and fund drives play an essential role in our ability to distribute consistent, diverse, and nutritious food. They supply more than 150,000 meals to neighbors in need each year and lend variety to the bulk staples food pantries receive.

Donated funds allow EFN to purchase food in bulk, solicit food donations, and transport food to pantries all over the county. If you’re looking for a way to support Emergency Food Network from your home or work – consider hosting a virtual or in-person food and fund drive!

Why should I host a Virtual Food & Fund drive?

At a time when we are no longer gathering in the same way, it can be difficult to rally a group around a cause that can make a real impact. A virtual food drive allows you to collect funds through a shareable link on social media or via email. Funds can go farther to procure and buy the items that our Partner Programs need. For every $1 you donate, EFN can provide 5 meals to our neighbors in need.
