Event Request
Our staff at Hays County Food Bank appreciate the importance of supporting our community by attending events and championing the cause of ending hunger. We do our best to attend as many events as possible, but advance notice of five weeks or more gives us the best chance of availability.
If you would like to invite one of our staff to table at your event or speak to your group, click on the link below to request our attendance.
Donations, Fundraisers, & Food Drives
Food donations, fundraisers, and food drives help keep our shelves stocked so that we can continue to feed our neighbors in Hays County all year long. If you are hosting a food drive or fundraiser, please register so we know about it! It helps us know when to expect your drive to be delivered so we have volunteers and space available to receive your donation.
Share your food drive or fundraiser on social media! Tag us @haysfoodbank and we will help promote your efforts. Contact our Development Manager at donation@haysfoodbank.org for tips, information, and a toolkit.
Food Donations
Food donations may be dropped off at HCFB. Items can be left inside the green bench on our front porch.
Can you pick up my food drive donation?
If your food donation is over 750 pounds (a pickup truck full), we have limited availability for food drive pick-ups, based on driver and van availability. If you are eligible to have your food drive picked up, please email donations@haysfoodbank.org
