Holding a Food Drive?

You can hold a drive at your place of work, your office, social club, place of worship, or neighborhood grocery store, your children's school, a restaurant or an event such as a birthday party or soccer game. Food drive events can range from one-day activities to month-long events to year-round collections. The time frame and details are up to you.

Our staff can provide supplies, guidance on the things you need to consider and help in setting up, if needed.

“I had the opportunity to tour the Auburn Food Bank and get an update on the important service they are providing for our community. Debbie Christian and her team of employees and volunteers serve 150 families (approximately 600 individuals) a day. So many people rely on the Food Bank when they need a hand, and Debbie is there, guided by her faith and family.” - King County Councilmember Pete von Reichbauer (February 2020)
