Join our food drive and collect food during the month of November.

Ideas for collecting at your community or company site:

Identify central and highly visible areas, and designate them as your official display/food collection locations.

Decorate a display/food collection area and a box for food collection (does not need to be from the Food Bank) to draw attention to collection & to make your food drive more fun.  

Place a flier at each resident's door or in your newsletter or place a flier in the mailbox area to announcing you will be collecting food during November and where to donate.
