Run a Food or Fund Drive
Every year, Daily Bread Food Bank runs three major drive campaigns. Daily Bread drives typically happen during the Spring, Fall and Holiday seasons. During that time, we appeal to individuals to give, and we also try to mobilize as many groups to run food and fund drives across the city. We actively encourage all members of the community to get involved in the fight against hunger by donating much-needed food and money. Making a donation of nutritious non-perishable food items helps keep our shelves stocked. Making financial donations goes a long way in helping us get food to people who need it, and continue our important work in research and public education, with the goal of ending hunger in our communities.
Daily Bread Food Bank's 2009 Drives
Fall Drive: September 25th - October 16th
Holiday Drive: November 27th - January 4th
Since Daily Bread addresses hunger in the GTA on an on-going basis, we encourage groups to run food and fund drives throughout the year. Read on to see how you can fight hunger with members of your community.
To organize a food or fund drive follow these steps:
Step 1: Register your drive
Step 2: Use a Donation Poster to help you publicize your efforts.
Step 3: Hold your food or fund drive.
- Baby formula & food
- Beans & lentils
- Canned fruits & vegetables
- Canned fish & meat
- Cans of soup or hearty stew
- Dried pasta & tomato sauce
- Macaroni & cheese
- Peanut butter
- Rice
- Tetra Pak, canned or powdered milk
Step 4: Get your food/funds to Daily Bread.
Food Drives: You may drop off food at your local firehall or at Daily Bread's main facility at 191 New Toronto Street.
If a major food drive is not on, use one of Daily Bread's On-going Drop Off Locations.
Drives that collect over 300 lbs of food, which is equivalent to 10 printer paper boxes or 30+ grocery bags, may arrange for a pick up by Daily Bread. However, we ask you to try to drop off the food in order to help Daily Bread save resources.
Fill in the Food Drive Pick Up Form and attach the Donation Poster to all of the boxes to be picked up.
Fund drives: The best way to get funds you have raised to Daily Bread is to send a cheque for the total cash collected. For individual donations, please ensure that full contact information is provided for tax receipting purposes.
Please be sure to let us know how much food or money you have collected in your drive. Fill out this Food/Fund Drive Tally Form to let us know.
