How do I organize a Community Food Drive or start a food pantry?
One of the ways to combat hunger in your area is to have a community food drive. The goal of a food drive is to collect non-perishable foods from each of the food groups in the Food Guide Pyramid and donate this food to local food pantries or similar food distribution facilities for distribution to people in need. Organized, step-by-step planning is essential. America’s Second Harvest has information on how to find a food pantry or food rescue program near your area.
