Food For Others: How to Do a Food Drive at Work, School or Home

Food drives are a mainstay for Food for Others. Here is how to run a drive that will make a difference for hungry families in our area.

Food drives organized by businesses, schools, associations, churches and other groups are critically important as we work to keep our shelves packed with nutritious food for the hungry.

This is especially true during the summer months and early fall, before the traditional Holiday giving season. All food collected during these drives will help to feed the hungry right here in our area. We can help make your food drive easy and fun.

We have prepared some clear guidance for food drives, whether you are an individual or an organization. By clicking on the site below you will go right to those guides to get started. And we are always there to help you: Call us at 703-207-9173.
