Q: How can one dollar help provide at least 10 meals?  

A: Feeding America works directly with major manufacturers, retailers, and other partners across the country to secure safe, healthy food that would otherwise go to waste. Through large-scale negotiating and nationwide donation programs, we're able to stretch your donation to make the biggest impact possible. Through our partnerships, Feeding America also works to rescue this food before it's wasted — making a difference for the people we serve and for our environment. Because of these successful partnerships, every $1 you donate to Feeding America helps secure and distribute at least 12 pounds of food — equivalent of 10 meals — through our nationwide network of 200 food banks. 

Read more information on how our network works.  

Q: How can I host a traditional Food Drive by collecting food and other grocery items?  

A: At this time, Feeding America food banks are discouraging traditional food drives because of issues related to COVID-19. A virtual food drive, a fundraising drive via Team Feed Corporate, is recommended, as your financial donation can go much further.

Your local Feeding America member food bank should be contacted if you decide to hold a traditional food drive, as some food banks are not able to receive these donations at this time. 

Q: Are there ways our members of our organization can volunteer in addition to raising funds?

A: Absolutely! With volunteers needed across the country, the majority of our network food banks welcome volunteerism on an individual and/or group level. Find the foodbank nearest you and reach out to them to see how you or your team can best support their needs.
