The holidays are almost here and now is a great time to hold a food drive. Festive themes can make people more excited to get involved. Here are four holiday themes for you to use!
Reverse Advent Calendar Drive
Many families use an advent calendar to count down the days until Christmas. Encourage families to start a new tradition that helps the hungry! Give participants a Christmas-themed box and have them put one food item in it every day until December 25. Then, after the holiday, they can deliver it to a food bank. This theme is great for getting kids involved!
Fall Harvest Drive
Fall is a time where people love to gather and have fun. Host a fall Harvest Event with games and activities for children. Charge at least one food item for admission. This can also be a great event to teach kids about the importance of healthy foods.
Thanksgiving Meal Drive
Everyone has a favorite dish they look forward to at Thanksgiving. This year, host a food drive where people are encouraged to bring their favorite Thanksgiving foods. You can turn this one into a friendly competition to see which food is the most popular!
Halloween Costume Drive
Young and old get to dress up for this event. Host a Halloween costume contest at your food drive. All who donate at least one food item can participate. Create categories based on ages or categories and give a prize to the best costume!
