HOW IT HELPS…
​
Food/fund drives are a fun and easy way to help food insecure individuals in Siouxland because they can be held anytime throughout the year. The need for food is still prevalent in Siouxland, no matter the season. With one in nine individuals being food insecure, events like these help supplement individuals so they can afford other necessities.
​
A food drive can consist of a variety of non-perishable items or it can focus solely on a particular item, such as cereal, peanut butter, canned proteins, or mac and cheese. Personal care drives are also an option as they are always welcome and needed items.
​
Every $1 provides 5 meals for Siouxland individuals in need, and a fund drive is another option to help food insecure individuals in Siouxland. Fund drives can be held with a food drive or as its own event.
​
If you would like to host an Online Fund Drive, contact Valerie Petersen at valerie@siouxlandfoodbank.org or 712-255-9741 (ext.2) to get started.
​
For singular donations via credit card view the information above to pay via secure online processor Network for Good, and checks can be sent directly to the Food Bank of Siouxland. Food/Fund Drives no matter how big or small are greatly appreciated. Every contribution helps us feed individuals in need across Siouxland.
