I would encourage you to talk with your local food bank, they probably already have programs to help you succeed. If you have a kid in school or are a part of a church those are great starting places to do a food drive. If that doesn't work, talk with your neighbors and see if they want to help you organize something. Shannon, thanks for reading. I encourage you to search for a local community foundation and talk with them to see if they have any funds like that that you could partner with. Krista, thanks for your comment.

Something that we did that seemed to really help was to work closely with the head coordinator of a particular company to support their drive. I remember one small company we worked with divided the employees into two teams and then had a competition to see which team could collect the most pounds of food. The owner of the company kicked in all kinds of stuff, like an extra day off for the winning team. For a company of only 30 staff, they were one of our biggest food drives of the year!
