Ways to Help

Food Drives &
Fundraisers

Your efforts in organizing food drives or fundraisers are critical to helping us meet the needs of over 12,000 people in our community each month. By planning and managing your event, you play a direct role in combating food insecurity in the Central Okanagan.

Food Drives

Food drives raise awareness and provide vital food resources to our community. Healthy Food Donations are always needed to help ensure we continue supporting those in need. To have a bigger impact, please plan ahead and collect the items on our “Most Needed Items” list.

Fundraisers

Monetary donations allow us to multiply your impact. Through partnerships with food retailers, every $1 you donate turns into up to $3 worth of food!

How to Register Your Event

We are a non-profit with limited physical resources. We are happy to offer these on a first-come, first-served basis to support your fundraising efforts on our behalf. Please complete your registration at least 2 weeks in advance to help us support your request!

  • Register Your Event: Notify us about your food drive or fundraiser so we can anticipate your donation and support your team.
