Food and Fund Drive Support
Food drives are essential to Gleaners’ vision of ending hunger in Southeast Michigan. Last year, food and fund drives provided more than 4.7 million meals to families in need. We can help plan your food drive and provide you with all the supplies you’ll need!
Our three flexible food drive options make it easy for any group to plan a food drive that works for them:
- Collect Food: Hosting a traditional food drive is a great way to get involved
- Collect Funds: We can stretch your dollars further! Because of our enormous purchasing power, we can provide 3 meals for every dollar donated!
- Host a Virtual Food Drive: Shop for the foods Gleaners needs most on a custom webpage created specifically for your organization. No bulky boxes or canned goods, and no need for transportation!
To learn more about hosting a food and fund drive, visit our Food & Fund Drives webpage or contact Bob Irland, Community Giving Manager, at 313.308.0628 or birland@gcfb.org.
Payroll Deductions
Employee contribution programs can go a long way in support of our mission to end hunger. We can help you set up a payroll giving program in support of Gleaners Community Food Bank, and keep you posted on the impact you are helping to make in the community!
Corporate Gifts
If you would like to make a gift to Gleaners on behalf of your clients (in lieu of gifts or a holiday party, for example) we can create social media posts tagging your company, or we can create a ThankView (e-mail) video thanking the clients for enabling your business to make such an impactful gift.
