Host a Virtual Food Drive
Collect online donations that help DSCRC purchase needed food and support Good Choice Food Pantry programs for families facing hunger.
Help Good Choice Pantry with a Virtual Food Drive
Food insecurity affects many people in our community, and a virtual food drive makes it easy to help from anywhere.
Instead of collecting physical food items, a virtual food drive gathers online donations that help DSCRC purchase needed food and support Good Choice Food Pantry programs. These gifts give our team the flexibility to respond to current pantry needs and provide meaningful support for neighbors facing hunger.
Share your virtual food drive plans with us. We can help promote your campaign, answer questions, and provide support to help make it successful.
How to Host a Virtual Food Drive
1. Choose Your Group
Virtual food drives are a simple way for businesses, schools, churches, families, clubs, and community groups to support DSCRC without collecting physical food items.
Start by choosing the group you want to invite to participate.
2. Set Your Fundraising Dates
Decide how long your virtual food drive will run. You can host it for a few days, a week, a month, or around a special event.
Before you begin, contact DSCRC so we know about your virtual food drive and can help answer any questions.
3. Set a Goal
Choose a fundraising goal that gives your group something to work toward.
Every donation helps provide food, support pantry programs, and serve neighbors facing hunger.

Invite people to give online through your virtual food drive.
You can share the donation link by email, social media, newsletters, workplace messages, church announcements, school updates, or community groups.
