How to Run a Successful Food Drive

 Get Organized 

  • We'll work with you to determine our most-needed items.

  • Make it easy to give. Decide on a drop-off location. We will provide the materials to promote your drive (flyers, boxes, brochures).

 Communicate Clearly 

  • Educate everyone about the issue you are addressing, and its impact in your community.

  • Set a goal. Make sure it is challenging but achievable.

  • Run a themed drive. We have lots of ideas for themes and catchy slogans.

  • Thank your donors. We can provide you with final results and information you can share.

 Provide Incentives 

  • Organize contests. Try to arrange friendly competition and offer prizes to the team that brings in the most donations.

 Schedule a Delivery or Pick-Up Date 

  • Coordinate with the United Way staff to schedule a time for pick-up or delivery of your donated foods. We can pick them up at your organization, or you can deliver them straight to one of our Food Pantry locations in Framingham, Marlborough or Clinton
