Thank you for holding a pandemic-safe
Food + Fund Drive!
Your help #fillingheartsandcarts
will make an immediate impact!
-
Food and FUNdraisers can be, well, fun! A theme, a friendly competition, a team photo for Facebook or Instagram - all add to the spirit of feeling good while doing good. While collecting items is helpful, DFP can always stretch a financial donation, for every $9 donated, we can purchase about $90 worth of most needed food. Donations of grocer gift cards are also put to good use! Receipt of donation are available.

Some theme Ideas:
> DFP's 45th year: Aiming for $45 or $450 dollar donation or 45 or 4500 pounds of food would be a great way to celebrate 45 years of helping our community.
> Tie in with National Days: (like Peanut butter and Jelly day, etc.) Click here for some upcoming National Days:
https://nationaldaycalendar.com/calendar-at-a-glance/
> Join DFP Pantry themes: March is DFP's birthday, April is our Volunteer Appreciation month, September is Hunger Awareness month
> Create Day-of-the-Week themes, such as:
Mac n Cheese Monday
Toothbrush/paste Tuesday
Wishlist Wednesday (DFP's wishlist is on our home page)
Three dollar Thursday
> Single item collection: Ask for just one thing such as $10 or any one item from our most needed list (posted on our HOME page)
>Personal inspiration:
Parents and Grandparents and more might appreciate being honored with a donation in their name
Neighbors helping neighbors is one of our themes - and neighborhood drives show us how wonderful it can be to get to know your neighbors in this way.
Birthday Party tie ins - such as a donation for the pantry at the party
