What is a food drive?

Food drives and donations help Feeding Westchester, our community partners, and meal programs keep their shelves stocked — and food on the tables of our neighbors — while simultaneously raising awareness about hunger and food insecurity in Westchester, and encouraging others to help.

Individuals, schools, community organizations, and businesses can all host food drives on behalf of Feeding Westchester.

Host a Food Drive

Hosting a food drive is simple and only takes a few steps. Here are some helpful tips for planning and holding your food drive.

Decide on your drive

Before you organize, decide what type of drive you’d like to host. Will you be collecting food, funds, or both? You can start your fundraiser here.

Select dates

Select dates to begin and end your food drive: Food drives can last however long you’d like, but we recommend running your drive for at least two weeks.

Register

After you’ve decided on the type of food drive and have preselected the dates, you’re ready to register your food drive.

Most-needed items

Share the list of our most-needed items with your friends, family, colleagues, and social networks, along with instructions for dropping off their donations. You can collect food in any box available to you, or we can provide you with a food collection tote (for collections weighing 1,000 lb. or more). Copy paper boxes are great for collections as they are sturdy, hold approximately 40 lbs. of food and often come with lids.

Bins can be picked up Monday through Friday between 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m. at: 200 Clearbrook Road | Elmsford, NY 10523. You must schedule your pick-up time. Please contact us to schedule a collection bin pickup.

Deliver donations

Once your collection is over, please drop off your food donations to Feeding Westchester, Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:30 a.m. and 3 p.m., at: 200 Clearbrook Road | Elmsford, NY 10523.

There is a food collection bin outside of our Volunteer Entrance where you can place your donations. If you need a receipt for your collection, please be sure to schedule your delivery so that we can arrange to have someone meet you, help you unload, and weigh the food you collected.

Start a fundraiser

People like you are essential to our mission of nourishing our neighbors in the fight against hunger.

As individuals, community groups, businesses and government, we all have a role to play in helping one another, especially when it comes to alleviating hunger. We want to make it easy for you to raise funds and awareness in your own way by giving you the best tools to do so.

You will not only provide critical funds to help alleviate hunger, but you will also create awareness for the ever-important issue of food insecurity. It’s just another way we—together—can help your neighbors in need.

Get Started

Start an individual or team fundraiser to raise money for the fight against hunger. Once you’ve created a Feeding Westchester fundraiser, you can share the link with your network to spread the word.

Shop to support

Shop at these retailers to have your purchases support the fight against hunger.

Amazon Smile

Designate Feeding Westchester as your charity of choice on AmazonSmile, and Amazon will donate 0.5% of the price of eligible AmazonSmile purchases to Feeding Westchester!

Cheesecake Factory

The Cheesecake Factory will be celebrating National Cheesecake Day by donating $1 to Feeding America for every slice of cheesecake sold on July 30. For every slice of the new Coconut Cream Pie Cheesecake sold from July 31, 2021, through July 30, 2022, they will donate $0.25 to Feeding America and local food bank members.

CVS Pharmacy

Through 2021, CVS Health helped provide more than 159 million meals for people who are food insecure through its partnership with Feeding America. Their continued support, which is primarily made possible through an in-store fundraising campaign at all CVS Pharmacy locations over the past two years, will benefit our neighbors across our Westchester county footprint. The Round-Up for Food Banks campaign’s success is driven by CVS employees and the generosity of its customers who can donate at the register.

Foodie Card – Buy a Card, Give a Meal

Foodie Card has been committed to its hunger relief mission since inception in 2018. When you purchase or renew Foodie Card membership, a day’s worth of meals will be donated to Feeding Westchester on your behalf!

Morgan Stanley – Foundation Child and Family Choice Grant

Since 2009, the Morgan Stanley Foundation has collaborated with Feeding America to provide more than $41.7 million in support of hunger-relief programs that deliver food assistance and healthy meals to children and families across the country. In 2020, the Morgan Stanley Foundation pledged $7.95 million over four years to fund initiatives including COVID-19 relief and child and family feeding programs. As part of that pledge, a total of $5,137,500 was allocated over three years to support the expansion of choice among child and family feeding programs.
