Food & Fund Drive Resources

Peer to peer fundraising is powerful. We have the tools to help kickstart your campaign, inspire your network, and meet your goal!

Once you register your event, follow our three steps for success: personalize, promote, and thank. Personalize your messaging and connect people with your goal by sharing why you chose to support the Food Bank. Promote the event by sharing your flyer, fundraising site link, or invitation to your entire social network. Thank your donors throughout the process and keep them updated on your progress.

Food Drive vs. Online Fundraiser

Why you should consider hosting an Online Fundraiser compared to a traditional food drive.

Monetary donations have the greatest impact for our work. For every $1 raised, we’re able to provide up to three meals for the children, families and seniors we serve! Monetary donations allow us to purchase food in large quantities directly from manufacturers and quickly re-distribute to those in need. They also allow us to source the specific items we need in order to fill any gaps in our supply, including fresh produce and dairy.
Although we still love traditional food drives, they do take a considerable effort from our staff and volunteers to sort, organize and repack. By hosting an Online Fundraiser, you can skip the hassle of the grocery store and coordinating the food delivery, all while maximizing your impact on the Three Rivers Region!
