Food donations and food drives have an immediate impact by providing meals for those in need, and are a great activity for the community to do together.

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. Copy paper boxes are great for collections as they are sturdy, hold approximately 40 lbs. of food, and often come with lids.

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.

Barefoot

No one should be without a meal but more than 38 million people in America are facing hunger, so there is still work to be done. 90% of the funds collected will go back to Feeding America food banks based on the zip codes where stores are located.

Crocs Cares

This is our second annual register campaign with Crocs. In 2021, the Crocs campaign raised over $2.1M and we are thrilled to work with them for another year. Crocs is proud to be a national partner of Feeding America and has seen the power of our organization when we come together for good. This is the next step in their journey to continue to do the right thing, and they know that through this partnership they will be able to make a meaningful impact to those who need it most in our local communities.

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!

LA Fitness

From January 1, 2023 – December 31, 2024, LA Fitness members can make a secure donation to Feeding Westchester at the Port Chester and Yonkers locations. New members will have the option of donating upon sign-up. Other opportunities to donate will include special classes, events, and services. LA Fitness will also be matching employee contributions up to $75,000. Fitness International has pledged to donate at least 9.6 million meals over the campaign period. Every $1 helps provide at least 10 meals secured by Feeding America on behalf of local member food banks.
