Yes! It helps to offset our out-of-pocket costs for Thanksgiving and our Food Pantry when we receive the proceeds of a food drive. There are two ways to do a drive:

• An online drive (preferred method!) has many benefits to the organizer, the donors, and to Xavier Mission, including:
  • Ease of communications: Information about our organization can be included on the food drive website so people can learn about who they are donating to. A link to the online drive can be easily disseminated to your entire email listserv for maximum participation.
  • Convenience: An online drive saves donors a trip to the grocery store, and saves the organization from having to pick up all the food at the end of the drive. All of the food that was purchased online will be delivered directly to Xavier Mission!
  • Maximum effectiveness: An online drive allows the organizer to specify what food items are needed. This greatly helps Xavier Mission to manage our inventory and not end up with food items that we cannot use, that are damaged, or that are expired.

Please contact the Director of Outreach if you would like to organize a food drive for Xavier Mission.
