Food and Fund Drives place the power to make a difference in your hands. The Food Bank of Iowa provides a handbook to help corporations, schools, church groups, school groups, volunteer organizations to form their own donation drives. These drives promote team building, new ideas and community involvement. Most importantly, Food and Fund Drives empower others with the ability to make a difference in the lives of hungry Iowans.

The efforts of everyone involved in a Food and Fund Drive makes an enormous difference in the amount and variety of foods we are able to distribute. No matter the size of your team, you can make an impact on the lives of the hungry. Get involved today!

The Food Bank of Iowa's Food and Fund Drive Handbook is full of great ideas designed to increase the success of your drive. Click here to download the Food and Fund Drive Handbook.
