Let’s stock the shelves
By holding a food drive with your friends, family, or coworkers, you can help ensure that we receive and distribute the foods hungry people in our community need most.
Between March and June, all food drives are part of Operation Feed, Mid-Ohio Foodbank's annual community-wide drive. This program offers support and materials, including posters, brochures and collection boxes. Learn more or sign up here.
MOST-NEEDED FOODS
Boxed dry foods—such as pasta and instant potatoes
Canned meats—such as chili and stew
Canned fruits and vegetables
Perishable, homemade, and home-canned items will not be accepted.
FOOD FOR KIDS
Focus your food drive on kids by assembling Kids’ Packs. Each pack should include enough of these items for a family of four.
- foods to make a meal—such as macaroni and cheese, alphabet soup, and canned pasta combos
- healthy snacks—such as cereal bars, applesauce packs, and popcorn
- beverages—such as individual juice carton packs, sports beverages, and flavored mixes for milk
- personal care items—such as toothpaste, toothbrushes, shampoo, and soap
