Calling all Technology Companies, Organizations and Groups!

So many members of our community are living one health crisis, one missed paycheck, and one grocery store trip away from needing the Food Bank network. Technological advancements are a primary reason we can connect people to the critical resources we provide. Starting March 25th, technology companies and organizations across the Food Bank’s 34- county service area are invited to raise meals in a friendly competition to fight hunger for bragging rights, an exclusive volunteer opportunity and a trophy!

Think your company has what it takes to win? Here is what you need to know:

  • The competition runs from March 25th to May 6th, 2022.
  • It will be a virtual event hosted on our Just Giving peer-to-peer fundraising platform.
  • After registering you will receive Microsoft Teams invite for orientation being held on March 18th, 2022. A recording of the meeting will be available to view at your convenience.
  • After orientation you will create your own fundraising page with a unique URL to your own “virtual food drive” fundraising page. Share this link with coworkers, teammates, friends, family and even on social media! Every dollar donated provides 5 meals for people facing food insecurity!
  • Want to hold a physical food drive as well? Visit our food and fund drive page for information on drop-off locations and collection boxes. You can also download donation signs and a list of our most-needed items. Every 1.2 pounds of food is equal to 1 meal for a neighbor in need.
  • Food donations must be dropped off at one of our branches by 4:00pm on Friday, May 6th to be counted in the competition.
  • Bytes for Bites will have two winners: most meals raised overall, and most meals raised per employee.

For more details or questions, please contact Michael Hooker, Corporate Partnerships Coordinator at mhooker@foodbankcenc.org.
