This type of food drive is wonderful for the group who would like a hand’s on approach to raising food.
Once you have decided with your group to do this type of drive, you will need to establish two dates. First you will need to establish the date that you would leave a written notice at your neighbor’s house and second would be the notice explaining that your group is having a food drive to help people in the community that need our help. The notice should include the date, time and location where to leave the food and the date your group will pick it up. Also include in the notice the type of food we suggest donating.
Once the donations are collected and brought back to a central location, you will need to count the items, call Doreen Principe at (516) 294-8528 ext. 14 and let her know how many items you have and a date you need the food picked up. We suggest using copy paper boxes weighing no more than 40 lbs, it helps our drivers manage the food better. If you have less than 150 pounds please call us for further details or you can drop it at any of our three locations.
Island Harvest can provide you with a copy of the notice to be left with the neighbor. (you will need to make the copies). We will also provide a letter of thanks for the group’s effort’s listing all the names and will forward it to the person or organization of your choice.
