SCHEDULE A FOOD DRIVE

The HandUP Food Initiatives depend on the generosity of our neighbors! Holding a food drive or collection is an easy way to help a lot of people at the same time. Here are just a few ideas:

• Ask people to bring a non-perishable food item as an entry fee to an event you are already holding.
• Pass out flyers in your neighbor announcing a collection date, time, and location. Pick up the food and deliver it to HandUP.
• Ask your business, church, or organization to set up a collection box. Bring it in or call us for a pickup.
