Food Drives
Food drives are an integral part of Families Forward - over 99% of the food distributed is donated by the community - and a great way to get the community together and involved in giving back. Food drives can be organized in schools, churches, companies, neighborhoods, store front drives and more.
If you are wishing to contribute by organizing a neighborhood food drive, please download our Dear Neighbor Flyer which can be used in conjunction with one of our suggested food lists:
Please contact us at fooddrives@families-forward.org for more information.
