Host a Food Drive or Fund Drive
Your organization can collect a variety of items to benefit The Food Depot’s hunger-relief programs. Food and/or personal care products are collected at your site and then picked up by The Food Depot staff. Volunteers will sort the items in our warehouse before they travel across Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico to schools, food pantries, senior centers, shelters, and other partner agencies. Collection bins are provided, along with educational materials.
Get Started
If your organization would like to get more involved in creating healthy, hunger-free communities, fill out this Food Drive/Fund Drive Google Form. The Food Depot’s Events and Outreach Coordinator will be in touch once they receive your information. Every canned food item or dollar supports hunger relief efforts.
