The Community Hunger Drive encourages you and your organization to partner with River Bend Food Bank by collecting funds and food for people experiencing hunger in your local community.
WHO DOES THE COMMUNITY HUNGER DRIVE HELP?
Hunger can happen to anyone and Community Hunger Drives help provide hunger-relief to the 1 in 7 adults and 1 in 5 children experiencing hunger in eastern lowa and western Illinois.
HOW IT WORKS
- Register your business or organization to lead a Community hunger Drive on this page.
- Host a Community Hunger Drive at your business or location.
- River Bend Food Bank will provide you with a dedicated online donation page and a WR Code to make donating to the drive simple and accessible.
- Engage your employees and business partners with fun activities and incentives for participating.
- Use your corporate matching program to maximize your donation, or consider making a corporate gift.
- Collect all funds and food, then deliver to our warehouse at 4010 Kimmel Drive, Davenport, IA 52802 at the conclusion so we can calculate how much you raised.
- Celebrate the collective results of your Community Hunger Drive.
IDEAS TO GET YOU STARTED
- Recruit a committee to assist with planning and managing events and activities. If your organization has a matching gifts program, encourage your co-workers to use it to double the impact of their donation.
- Host a kickoff event to share details and build excitement for the upcoming drive.
- Having the support of management is key to a succesful drive. Engage members of your organization’s leadership to participate in the fun.
- Challenge another department or group to a competition to see who can raise the most funds. Consider offering a prize to the winning group.
- Host casual days. For a dontation to the Community Hunger Drive, employees can dress in jeans on designated days.
- Involve food… it is always a hit! Host a bake sale, hold a chili cookoff and charge $5 to eat lunch, sell donuts in the morning and candy bars or popcorn in the afternoon.
