Join us in feeding our neighbors by doing a Virtual Food Drive! Instead of traditional food drives, Berkeley Food Network is moving to fully digital food drives, and here’s why:
We get more bang for our buck.
The Berkeley Food Network can source $4 worth of food for every $1 donated. This means, monetarily, we can quadruple the impact of your dollar when you donate through a virtual food drive instead of purchasing cans/items for donation.
Virtual Food Drives enhance dignity and respect of service to our community.
While traditional food drives are a valuable way to gather support, virtual food drives allow us to streamline the process and make a greater impact. By donating funds instead of physical goods, we can purchase exactly what our clients say they need and want for their families.
Traditional Food Drives are not the most effective way to serve food-insecure individuals.
Virtual Food Drives reduce sorting time and logistical costs, ensuring that every dollar goes further in helping those facing food insecurity.
Together we can keep our neighbors nourished in the most efficient and dignified way possible! Sound like something you’re interested in doing? Keep reading to learn more about how you can (1) contribute to an existing food drive or (2) host your own food drive!
