River Bend Food Bank’s network of over 400 hunger-relief partners relies on consistent funding and healthy food to feed children and adults experiencing hunger. These critical resources are donated from a variety of sources – excess food from wholesalers, distributors, and grocers, the annual Student Hunger Drive, Community Hunger Drive, and Funds & Food Drives hosted by local businesses and individuals.
By hosting a Funds & Food Drive, you can help make sure people have the food they need to thrive as productive members of the community.
