Virtual Food Drive

What is a Virtual Food Drive?

Food drives are a wonderful way to get much-needed food to hungry men, women, children and families in North Texas. But not every workplace has the necessary storage, equipment or on-site employees to host a food drive.

Enter the Virtual Food Drive.

With easy-to-use technology, the North Texas Food Bank can help your company, organization, club or faith group organize a Virtual Food Drive (VFD) with fun, point-and-click simplicity similar to online shopping. No longer do you have to haul sacks of food to the office.

It’s so easy, effective and truly benefits those in need!

• Transactions can be completed within minutes. Donors may use any major credit card for payment on a secure site and receive an e-receipt immediately.
• By posting the link on your intranet, all employees or members can participate on a 24/7 basis.
• It is brand-friendly! The VFD can be customized to include the company or organization’s logo and colors.
• It is a great team-building tool! Drive competition between departments, rival companies or partner organizations.
• You can track progress of the VFD on a 24/7 basis.

For more information, for a demonstration or to participate, contact us by phone at 214.347.9573 or email - volunteer@ntfb.org.
