Be a Hunger Hero – Host Your Own Food Drive!

How to Host Your Own Fun and Easy DIY Food Pantry Drive 

For Individuals & Corporations 

 

 

Step 1: Choose Your Dates & Location 

• Pick a start and end date (2–4 weeks is ideal). 

• Decide where donations will be collected (office lobby, break room, front porch, school hallway, etc.). 

Step 2: Contact Keystone 

• Let us know you’re hosting a drive so we can share current pantry needs, answer questions, track your contributions and share on our social media. 

• Contact: Kyle Foster at: [email protected]  

Step 3: Set a Goal 

• Choose a goal that’s motivating—e.g., “500 pounds of food,” “Fill 10 boxes,” or “Beat last year’s total.” 

• For corporations, consider offering an incentive (casual dress day, free lunch, raffle prize) if the goal is met. 

Step 4: Gather Supplies 

• Boxes or bins for collecting items. 

• Signs/flyers to post near collection areas (include list of most-needed items). 

• Optional: decorate bins to make them eye-catching. 

Step 5: Promote Your Drive 

• Send an email or memo to staff/friends/family. 

• Post on social media with photos of your collection bin and a call to action. 

• Share Keystone’s mission and current food needs to inspire giving. 

Step 6: Collect Donations 

• Encourage high-need items (e.g., peanut butter, canned proteins, pasta, rice, cereal, shelf-stable milk). 

• Remind participants midway through the drive to keep momentum going. 

Step 7: Deliver to K.O.C. 

• Deliver them to Keystone Opportunity Center at104 N. Main Street, Souderton, PA, 18964 

Step 8: Celebrate & Share the Impact 

• Thank everyone who participated. 

• Share photos of the final collection and let people know how many families they helped feed. 

• We’ll provide a thank-you letter and impact update so you can share with your team.
