Want to run a food drive, but how?

Here are some simple steps to running a successful food drive;

  • First, decide where to collect the food items
  • Set a goal for the amount of food you would like to raise in pounds –  donors like to know your target goals (approximately 200 lbs non-perishable food items fills a grocery cart)
  • Set a start and finish date, i.e. October 10 through to October 20 – this is key to a successful food drive.
  • What to collect? MOST NEEDED ITEMS (Click Here)
  • Click on the QR Code and we have provided a branded poster with QR Code (click here) linking to our donation page https://www.barriefoodbank.org/donating/. We encourage financial Fundraisers too!  Monetary donations help us purchase food to fill in the donation gaps and keep our shelves stocked throughout the year. 
  • A tour of Barrie Food Bank can be made available to drive organizers (large group tours can be arranged)
  • Lastly, thank you for your dedication and commitment helping to ensure we are a Community Where No One is Hungry.
