Food drives are a great way to get involved in your community and help provide food to those in need. With 1 in 7 Americans facing hunger and 18 million children not having access to proper, nutritious meals during the summer months, the need for food drives right now is very important. To help address this issue, food banks across the country now are letting people host virtual food drives!
Virtual food banks let individuals or companies set up their own page where you can add a picture and a short description of why you are hosting the event. Then, simply share your page with family, friends, and co-workers so they can shop online for groceries or donate to your page. All funds simply go to the food bank, where they will help to provide meals for those in need.
Virtual food drives are simple and effective in getting more people involved in the fight to end hunger. It is great for when you are very busy, but still want to help! There are many organizations which are letting people set up their virtual food drives, including:
Community Food Bank of New Jersey
