HOST A VIRTUAL FOOD DRIVE

Virtual drives are the most efficient and safe way to engage your friends, coworkers, and family in providing food to neighbors at risk of hunger.

Instead of going to the store to buy canned and other non-perishable food items, take advantage of the Food Shuttle’s bulk purchasing power to maximize the impact of your dollars by donating food virtually!

Set up a unique online donation page for your workplace, community, neighborhood, church, or organization that can be easily shared on social media and by email!

How to set-up your virtual food drive:

1.       Visit the Virtual Food Drive Webpage

2.       Click on “Become a Fundraiser”

3.       Follow the steps to set up your account and donation page including a goal, your own picture or logo and a message for your community.

4.       Share your page and collect food – virtually! 

For technical support on your virtual donation pages, please contact Nick Billman at Nick@FoodShuttle.org or call 919-999-2159.
