HELPING OUT

FOOD & FUND DRIVES

Food Lifeline’s Food & Fund Drive Program encourages members of the community to maximize their support of Food Lifeline’s hunger relief efforts by making much needed food and financial donations.

"CHECK-OUT" HUNGER

Through the all new Virtual Food Drive

Join Food Lifeline and the launch of the new Virtual Food Drive to “Check-out” Hunger in your community. Engage your community and donate food virtually. It saves you the hassle of moving heavy food drive boxes and allows Food Lifeline to save on resources and purchase the most-needed items for hungry people.

Rally your friends, coworkers, neighbors, clients and local businesses to provide thousands of meals to hungry families this spring.

It’s easy!

Sign-up: Register online now and note on the form that you are participating in the “Check-out” Hunger Drive.
Get the tools: After registering, Food Lifeline will equip you for a successful drive.
Spread the word: Share the opportunity with your community to “check-out” hunger with you.

Drives can be held at schools, offices, community centers, places of worship, grocery stores, and even door-to-door in your neighborhood. Food Lifeline relies on the generosity of individuals and organizations to provide food to nearly 300 food banks, shelters and meal programs throughout Western Washington.

Why Host a Food & Fund Drive?

Giving Back: The food and funds you collect enable Food Lifeline to feed hungry people in your community and all throughout Western Washington.
Impacting Lives: A $1 donation provides a full day of nutritious meals for a hungry individual, and we make the most of your contributions with 96% of each donation going directly to feeding hungry people.
Working Together: A food & fund drive is a fun and easy way to engage your friends and colleagues in supporting hunger relief in your community.
Providing Food: The need is growing at Food Lifeline’s nearly 300 member food banks, meal programs and shelters. The non-perishable food collected through food & fund drives is in high demand.
Spreading the Word: Your drive lets others know about the growing issue of hunger in our region, and builds local support for hunger relief.

Looking to actively engage your group in the issues of hunger?

Food Lifeline has created age-appropriate lessons for community awareness and engagement called HUNGER TO HOPE. These are a great addition to your food & fund drive. Please email our Grassroots Advocacy Coordinator for more information.
