Some ideas for keeping the food drive interesting over time:
- Ask for food items by season or holiday - seasonal bulletin templates are attached.
- Collect soup and chili in the winter months
- Ask for green vegetables for St. Patrick’s Day
- Provide breakfast in the summer for kids when they don’t get breakfast at school.
- Take your youth group, women’s group, or other team or class to the Food Bank for a volunteer activity. Bring back a report to the larger group or congregation on how the Food Bank and this food drive impacts the community for good.
