Our New Virtual Food Drive

Thanks to our affiliation with Feeding America and ability to purchase food in bulk, we are able to provide a minimum of 3-5 times the amount of food that someone can purchase at a local grocery store.  Therefore, purchasing food through our Virtual Food Drive allows donors to contribute 3-5 times as much with the same amount of money. 

For example, if you purchase a can of vegetables for $1, the food bank can provide at least 3 - 5 cans for the same amount.  Generally speaking, 5 lbs. of food is enough to provide 3 meals.

 Examples of the value of the food bank’s purchasing power:

•  $1 provides 5 meals
• $5 provides 50 lbs. of bread
• $10 provides a 50 lb. box of food
• $15 purchases 4 bags of food for a child through our Backpack Program
• $20 allows us to purchase and deliver 800 lbs. of food to a local food pantry
• $50 buys 330 lbs. of produce to be distributed through our Mobile Pantry Program
• $100 buys enough fuel to pickup 3 tons (enough to fill a 20 foot truck) of donated food from local grocers
• $500 allows us to conduct a mobile pantry distribution and deliver over 5,000 lbs. of food to 100 families
