  “The Food Bank is unique because they are not just the largest provider of food, serving over 1,000 food pantries and soup kitchens — we think of Food Bank as the thought leader as it relates to food policy across New York. "The Food Bank has adjusted their model to understand that we have to address the root causes, which means the services that will lift people out of poverty and change their lives past one meal.” —Eric Weingartner, Robin Hood Foundation.

Virtual Food DrivesMany of our corporate and foundation partners, as well as individuals, participate in the themed Virtual Food Drives — which allow the Food Bank to provide more food than through a traditional canned food drive — held online throughout the year. All you have to do to help raise funds through our Virtual Food Drives is give us your information and logo, and we will set up your page. Then just set a fundraising goal and invite coworkers, friends and family to help you reach it! The Food Bank's themed Virtual Food Drives address current problems — including the Fill Our Warehouse for the Holidays drive, which helped raise close to 70,000 meals for New Yorkers in need in response to a severe shortage in emergency food. Other Virtual Food Drives are held in connection with the Food Bank's many annual fundraising campaigns such as Go Orange Online, which is associated with the NYC Goes Orange campaign. The Food Bank is currently recruiting supporters for the 2010 Virtual Food Drive. If you are interested in joining the Help Fill Our Warehouse Virtual Food Drive, contact us or register online today! In addition, some our donors go that extra mile by using our Virtual Food Drive tool to create their own fundraising events around events such as marathons, weddings or bar or bat mitzvahs. To register for one of our current Virtual Food Drives or to create your own, contact Amber King, Campaigns & Events Manager.  |
