Host A Food Drive!
If you are interested in hosting a food drive to benefit Family Kitchen, here's what you need to know!
We rely heavily on donations to provide about 3,000 free meals to our community every week.
To organize a food drive, you can:
-
Pick up a plastic bin from Family Kitchen. This bin comes with a laminated sheet of what food we can make the most use of (we can also send you a digital PDF)
-
Let your staff or patrons know! Choose a duration (2 - 4 weeks) (or it can be ongoing). We recommend sending an email, doing a social media post, and displaying the bin in an obvious location.
-
Return the bin to Family Kitchen any day between the hours of 10 AM - 2 PM. Please drop off with staff.
If your drive is ongoing, you can empty the bin and bring it back to refill!
Other notes:
-
Food banks can accept dry goods that are up to one year expired.
-
Donations must be unopened.
Thank you so much for helping to feed those in need, we couldn’t do it without donors like you!
Much love from all of us at Family Kitchen!
Volunteers Needed!
Family Kitchen is experiencing record-breaking demand — in May alone, we served 6,859 in house meals in Bend, a 24% increase from April.
To meet this growing need, we're seeking volunteers to help prepare and serve meals as well help with clean up. It’s easy to get involved, with flexible shift days, times, and roles available. Whether you're new or returning, your time makes a real impact.
If you have any questions about volunteering, please reach out to:
volunteer@familykitchen.org 541-760-5677
