Suggestions for a Successful Food Drive

• Establish a GOAL for your drive

• Email daily or weekly REMINDERS to your employees and keep them informed on the status of your drive

• Create a thermometer or some sort of visual chart to post in a public place so employees have an ongoing reminder of your drive; consider creating a PDF of that visual so you can email that to employees as well

• Enter the name of each employee who makes a donation into a DRAWING for fun prizes, such as movie passes, gift certificates, etc.

• Remember to tell your employees WHO will benefit from your drive – where their money is going. Pull key messages from the Fact Sheet or our website to “personalize” the cause of hunger. Remind them of the mission of the North Texas Food Bank:

The North Texas Food Bank seeks to eliminate Hunger by distributing food and grocery products through a network of nonprofit organizations while providing education and increasing community awareness on issues of Hunger.

• Schedule a North Texas Food Bank (NTFB) SPEAKER to come out and help rally your employees
