Host A Virtual Food Drive
Virtual Food Drives are Under Construction
Hosting a virtual food drive is a powerful way to get involved and make a difference in our community. We’re currently working behind the scenes to upgrade our virtual food drive experience and apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
In the meantime, we invite you to continue supporting our mission by hosting a Facebook fundraiser or organizing a traditional food drive. We anticipate the new system will be ready to roll in February—so check back soon to see it in action!
If you need any assistance in setting up your food drive, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Host a Facebook Fundraiser
Steps to create a fundraiser on Facebook
- Head over to www.facebook.com/fund/harvestersorg.
- A box with the first of three screens will pop up. Here you will decide your fundraising goal and how long you want your fundraiser to last. Once you’ve filled in those fields, hit next.
- On the second screen, you will name your fundraiser and tell your followers why you are raising money. Write from the heart why you’re passionate about supporting Harvesters. If you need some help with ideas, check out our suggestions on the right hand side of this page. Hit next to continue.
- Lastly, you’ll pick a cover photo for your fundraiser. There will be some photos populated there you can choose from, or we’ve included some here on the right side of this page. Or, if you’re feeling creative, you can create your own.
- Once you hit create, you’re all ready to roll. Your fundraiser will automatically be posted to your wall. You can share updates about your progress, thank your followers who support your drive and more!

Friends and Family,
I hope you’ll consider joining me in supporting Harvesters – The Community Food Network. Every gift, big or small, helps Harvesters continue to provide food to families and seniors and meet the growing need throughout our region. Thank you for your support!
Friends and Family,
I’ve chosen to support Harvesters – The Community Food Network, because their mission means a lot to me. I hope you’ll consider contributing too! Every little bit will help me reach my goal and help Harvesters create equitable access to nutritious food and address the root causes and impact of hunger.
Friends and Family,
As more families face harder times, it will take all of us coming together to make sure help is available to everyone who needs it. I ask you to join me in supporting Harvesters – The Community Food Network, our region’s Food Bank. Thank you for helping us keep our communities nourished and healthy.
