The 350 Pound Pledge
Please allow 7 - 10 business days from registration to receive boxes
Food drives are great as it helps us stock empty pantry shelves. With our limited time and funds, in order to maximize our resources a 350 lb. minimum is required for all Food Drives.
If your office/group is small, you can still help by:
- Collecting food in your own containers and delivering it to the Food Bank
- Donating food at one of our drop-off locations
We encourage you to add a Virtual Food Drive component to your food drive. By holding your food drive online, you will be saving the Food Bank time and resources that are incurred on physical food drives.
Plus, your donations will help us purchase the most needed food items, like canned tuna, peanut butter, canned fruits and vegetables and cereals. Every $1 we receive, allows us to distribute enough food for 4 meals.
For information about the virtual food drive, email csalazar@lafoodbank.org or call at (323) 234-3030 x174.
