Hosting a food drive brings together communities, civic groups, companies, congregations, and friends to support those facing food insecurity. Service-learning volunteers (school and scouting projects) are also welcome to organize food drives. Donations from your food drive support our food pantries, the Backpack Buddies program, on-site feeding centers, senior and baby pantries, and the Mobile Food Pantry.
Choose the location and duration of your drive. Register your food drive with the food bank by filling out the online form at the bottom of this page.
Use containers provided by the Anne Arundel County Food Bank or use cardboard boxes or plastic tubs to collect the donated food. Label the containers and put them in a highly visible area so people can find the boxes. A list of high-priority items can be found on the food drive poster and flier, as well as in our Food Drive Guide.
Collect your donated food and take it to the food bank at 120 Marbury Drive in Crownsville. Donations are accepted Monday through Friday from 9 am to noon and 1 pm to 3 pm. If your food drive has collected a lot of donated food, you may be eligible for pick-up (call our office for information). Be sure to let a warehouse associate know you are dropping off donations from a food drive.
