What is a virtual food drive?

A virtual Thanksgiving food drive is a great way to help provide meals for our neighbors. Instead of collecting canned goods, your virtual food drive collects funds.

When you fundraise for Feeding America, your funds help a nationwide network of local food banks. Every $1 raised can help provide at least 10 meals to our neighbors facing hunger.

What about canned food drives?

Thanksgiving is a busy time for most food banks and food pantries. While food donations seem generous, they may create more challenges for food banks.

If you prefer to do a traditional food drive, contact your local food bank and ask if there are food donation guidelines.
