Take part in the FOOD DRIVE CHALLENGE, and make a difference in your community! The LSS Second Harvest Food Bank is challenging local businesses and organizations to take on a food drive campaign with a specific goal. The need to feed the hungry is not only ongoing but escalating. In order to meet this great demand, the Food Bank is working hard to raise an additional 200,000 pounds of nonperishable food
for the holiday season. We want to challenge your organization to partner with us by taking on 10 percent of this goal (20,000 pounds) between now and the
start of the new year. Or, we welcome pledges of 5,000, 10,000, or 15,000 pounds of food as well.
The Food Bank will help make your FOOD DRIVE CHALLENGE as successful as possible by providing your organization with collection barrels, PR materials, frequent pick-ups of food, and photo opportunities at the end of the drive.
We would like to thank the following organizations and businesses that have already stepped up to the plate and accepted our FOOD DRIVE CHALLENGE!
