Food drives are a great way to bring people together to support Ballard Food Bank.

You can run a food drive at your work, school, church, and beyond. Rally your friends and neighbors!

We make it easy to host a food drive

You can get started right away! Just fill out our donation drive form, grab a cardboard box and start asking folks to donate items.

Below are some helpful tools to host your donation drive. This toolkit includes a list of most-needed items, posters, social media posts to help promote your drive, logistics and tips, and a certificate of appreciation for your participants!

When your drive is completed, please let us know when you plan to drop off your donations, so we know to expect you.
