Food Drives

Hosting a food drive is a great way to give back and provide a very essential need to our community. Please review the information below to get started on your food drive today!

Starting Your Food Drive

Students, staff and faculty are invited to coordinate your own mini-drive within your club, group, office or division! Once all of the donations have been dropped off to a central place designated by you please contact the Center for Student Activities, Leadership and Service at 212-998-4700 or the Office of Civic Engagement at 212-998-2329 to arrange for a pick-up by one of our local organizations.

Mini-Drive Check List

• Circulate and post fliers in your office, department, division, or residence hall. This will inform people how and where to bring food donations.
• E-mail, stuff mailboxes, and spread the word at your regular meetings about your mini drive.
• Call the Center for Student Activities, Leadership and Service or the Office of Civic Engagement if you need information on local organizations, statistics on hunger and homelessness, or information on requests for specific types of food.
• Determine a specific centralized place in your office or residence hall for donors to drop off donations. Please select a collection site that is highly visible and in a secure area.
• Call the Center for Student Activities, Leadership and Service or the Office of Civic Engagement to arrange a convenient time for a pick-up of all the donations from your mini drive.
