Hold a Food or Fund Drive
Thank you for your interest in coordinating a food or fund drive!
Forms and Guides
Food Drive Registration
We are a nonprofit organization and cannot be associated with any sales or marketing efforts for another product. However, some companies or groups have used food drives as a way to encourage people to come to their businesses or gatherings. This marketing practice is within acceptable nonprofit limits and can help increase the proceeds of your drive.
Online Fund Drive
Consider holding an Online Fund Drive to compliment your physical food drive. Online fund drives appeal to donors that want to make monetary donations.
Most Needed Items
The USDA Dietary Guidelines recommends that adults and children regularly consume foods that are high in fiber, vitamins and minerals while low in calories, salt, fat and sugar. See how you can help nourish Idaho’s hungry!
Food Drive Barrels
Collection Barrels are available for free to anyone interested in holding a food drive. Your help in picking up the barrel from our warehouse is appreciated but if pickup is not possible, delivery of barrels can be arranged. Barrels are constructed of heavy-duty cardboard and fold flat, so they are easy to transport by car.
Food Drive Drop-Off
Please deliver the food to our warehouse and we will help you unload and give you a total weight right away. Deliveries can be made any time Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 am and 4:30 pm. Contact us if you have questions.

Dairy Queen
Organized By:Dairy Queen
This year were wanting to help others with the holiday's steadily approaching, and to support those who are
in need of food in the LC Valley. In the past years we have wanted our store to grow more in helping out the community, and feel like this would be a great opportunity to reach out and to make a difference for local families. Every person who comes to support the food drive can receive a small blizzard, and with that small treat hopefully it can make a bigger impact in people's lives.
