Donate Food

Donating Food
On the average, we provide over 90,000 lbs. of food to families each month (due to demand for our services, up from 30,000 last year!) While cash donations assist us in purchasing food, we also rely on food and personal care items from our area communities to fill in the gaps. Food may be donated and dropped off during all open hours.
Food & Fund Drives
Food and fund drives are a fun way to get make a positive impact! Drives are perfect for schools, businesses, neighborhoods, civic groups, faith communities, etc to get involved.
If you plan on hosting a food and/or fund drive, please let us know at patti@bountifulbasketfoodshelf.org. We can help provide marketing materials, set up a specific fundraising campaign on our donor platform, help provide creative ideas as well as help promote via social media.
