Living Fruitfully.

Eliminating hunger calls for more than money and resources. It calls for people and energy. Becoming a volunteer or leading a food drive gives you the opportunity to fight against the causes of hunger and to effect a change you can see.

Host A food Drive

Thank you for your interest in hosting a food drive! Food drives provide needed donations for those facing hunger in our region. We are grateful for all non-perishable food but are especially in need of the items listed below.

URGENT NEEDS:

  • Peanut Butter
  • Canned Vegetables (examples: beans, corn, green beans, carrots, mixed greens, peas, etc.)
  • Canned Fruit
  • Canned Soup
  • Canned Proteins (examples: pork & beans, chili, chicken, etc.)

In our service area of 20 counties in southeast Tennessee and northwest Georgia, 1 in 8 children does not know where their next meal will come from.

Interested in hosting a food drive? Complete the form below and we will be in touch with you shortly. Please allow two business days for your request to be processed. Note that we cannot guarantee pick up of collected food.

Host An Online Fundraiser

Every $1 donated to the Chattanooga Area Food Bank helps to provide groceries for 3 meals. Through corporate partnerships and bulk buying, the Food Bank is able to stretch a dollar further than you'd ever imagine. For that reason, many people may prefer to donate funds instead of food. Online fundraisers can be successful when paired with a food drive or administered alone.

Starting an online fundraiser is easy to do. We'll give you all the tools you'll need to make a difference. Click below to create your personal online fundraiser.
