Host a Food Drive HOST A FOOD DRIVEHow it WorksThank you for your interest in hosting a food drive for the Jackson Cupboard! Food drives are an effective way to rally your friends, family and colleagues to make a collective impact on the lives of those facing food insecurity. Whether it’s at your workplace, school or community organization, hosting a food drive allows you to directly contribute to our efforts in providing groceries to individuals and families in need. Hosting a food drive is as easy as one, two, three – so let’s get started! STEP ONESTEP TWOSTEP THREE 1Pick your food drive focus Download our Food Drive Wish List and pick your food drive focus. We encourage folks to keep it simple by focusing on just one or two items for their food drive. By focusing on just one or two items, it saves resources on our end and makes it possible for us to add your donations to our pantry almost immediately. Additionally, it allows for us to receive items that our pantry needs the most and that are difficult for us to source. 2Register your food drive!

Please do not show up at the Jackson Cupboard without coordinating beforehand. Scheduling a time for drop off ensures we are open and have team members ready to take your items.

WHAT ITEMS WILL YOU NOT ACCEPT? For the safety of the community members we serve, the Jackson Cupboard can only accept unopened, non-perishable food items that have not expired past one year. We cannot accept any products with severe damage (dented or rusted cans), or any homemade goods. We cannot accept any expired consumable baby products. While we do accept donations of perishable food, Hole Food Rescue can sometimes be better suited to receive and distribute these items. We do not accept clothing, shoes, furniture, or appliances. Clothing donations are accepted at Browse n’ Buy. Furniture and appliances are accepted at Teton Habitat ReStore. HOW DO I COORDINATE DELIVERY OF THE DONATIONS? Once your drive is complete, email jacksoncupboard@one22jh.org to confirm a time to drop off your donations at the Jackson Cupboard. Please pre-sort the donations – we log and inventory each item, so sorting the donations before delivery is a huge help to us! WILL I RECEIVE A TAX RECEIPT? Yes! We will mail you a tax receipt for your records.
