Food Drives

More than 5,100 people volunteer at the Foodbank each year.

Food Drives

Help coordinate a food drive in your community!

Food drives are so important because they supplement what the Foodbank receives from the food industry and available government commodities. Individuals in the community collect foods that are needed throughout the year.

You can coordinate a food drive at your work, school or organization.

Please contact us at (614) 274-7770 or by email at info@midohiofoodbank.org when you begin your planning.

Suggested Items For Your Food Drive

Please do not include perishable items with your food drive collection (i.e. fresh fruit, bread, fresh potatoes, etc.). We are also unable to accept homemade or home-canned foods.

If you want to focus your drives on children, learn more about our Kid Packs. Many of the people who need our help are under 18 years of age so we can always use more healthy kids foods. However, we generally are not in need of baby food or formula donations.

Food can be dropped off at the large doors inside our fenced parking lot on weekdays from 8:00 am to noon and from 1:00pm to 4:00pm.

Our warehouse is located at 1625 West Mound Street in Columbus.

Call (614) 274-7770 for directions and let the Foodbank know when you plan to come.
