Donate Food
How and What to Donate
The Food Bank depends upon donations from individuals and businesses. We will also work with you to organize a food drive. Check out our keys to coordinating a successful food drive.(PDF, 1MB).
With rising transportation costs making our ability to acquire food more difficult, we appreciate your ability to coordinate delivery of your food collection to our facility.
