Host a Fund Drive

Hosting a Fund Drive for Gleaners makes sense! Every dollar donated provides 3 meals for our hungry neighbors. Ninety-three cents of every dollar donated is spent on food distribution or food programs, with only seven cents spent on overhead. Fund drives are easy, convenient and donations are tax deductible.

What is a Fund Drive?

A fund drive is an organized effort to collect money for a set period of time. Funds can be collected in donation canisters, on line or by texting a donation. This kind of drive can be helpful to organizations that don’t have room for large boxes in their offices or a good central location to hold a food drive.

Top Reasons to Host a Fund Drive:

You save the Food Bank precious resources – schedulers, drivers, food sorters and fuel.
Your donations allow us to purchase our most-needed items.
We can better meet our community's nutritional needs.
Convenient; it eliminates grocery shopping and carrying grocery items to the workplace.
It is easily manageable for companies with multi-sites and/or multi-city locations.
Every $1 given can provide 3 meals -a days worth of food!
Your donation can be tax deductible.
