Collecting Food & Funds

The competition is April 17-28. ALL fundraising and food collection must take place during this period. Any money or food collected before or after these dates will not count toward a firm's final total.

  • Monetary Donations:
    • Contributions of money are tax-deductible and are very welcome.
      • Online donations can be made at the donation link provided by your regional food bank. Again, make sure you indicate what firm it is on behalf!
      • Checks should be made payable to your regional Food Bank. They will provide you with the specific name. Make sure to indicate on the for line that the check is for the Legal Food Frenzy competition and what firm you are contributing for!
    • Capital Campaign gifts will not be counted towards your competition totals.
  • Collecting Non-Perishable Food
    • Food items will be weighed by your regional Food Bank at the end of the campaign.
    • Most needed food items are Peanut Butter, Canned Tuna, Canned Beans, Canned Soups, Stews, Pastas, 100% Fruit Juice, Canned Fruits, Vegetables, Macaroni and Cheese Dinners, Whole Grains, Low Sugar Cereals (boxed).
    • Candy will not be counted.
    • Please don’t donate food items in glass containers – they have a high risk of breaking.
    • Please do not open items that are already packed in cases, cartons, or boxes. This will make it easier for the Food Bank to pick up.

Delivering Food and Funds to your regional Food Bank

  • On Friday, April 28, fill out the online “End of Campaign” form for your regional Food Bank.
  • All donations must be delivered to or picked by your Food Bank by May 5th to count in your competition totals.
  • If a firm delivers all food and monetary contributions to their regional food bank the firm will receive a 25% bonus of tabulated pounds! Online donations count as "delivered.”
  • If you want your food donations to be picked up, you must notify the Food Bank of the approximate amount of food you have collected on the end of campaign form in order for the transportation department to prepare properly. Your Food Bank may not pick it up if it is under a certain amount.
  • If your firm only has a monetary contribution and wants it to be picked up, this must be communicated at the time your pick-up date is assigned so the Food Bank can send the appropriate vehicle to your firm.

More details & resources will be sent to you soon after you register. Best of luck!
