Food Donations & Drives

Food donations and drives help keep our shelves stocked with nutritious food so that we can continue to feed our neighbors in Hays County. Hunger knows no season; help keep people fed all year long. 

If you are hosting a food drive please register your food drive 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 on social media! Tag us @haysfoodbank and we will help promote your efforts. If you would like help promoting your event, please do not hesitate to ask! Contact our Development Manager at (512) 392-8300 x230

Can you pick up my food drive donation?

If your food donation is over 500 pounds (approximately, 500 cans), 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 call 512-392-8300 x230 to arrange for pickup.
