Neighborhood Food Drive Guidelines

Thank you for your interest in the Santa Clarita Valley Food Pantry! All food drives and donations are greatly appreciated. The following are step-by-step guidelines to help make your drive successful.

 1. Choose a date for your food drive and fill in the blank on the "Needed Items" flier. Schedule the pick up date for approximately one week after you drop off the fliers. Weekends work best for pick-ups.

2. Copy, cut and distribute fliers. Face to face solicitations are the most effective way of getting participation. When you drop off the flyer at your neighbor's house, take a moment to explain what you're doing in person. If your neighbor isn't home, leave a personal note on the flyer.

3. As part of your food drive, please arrange to have your collected food and hygiene items delivered to the Food Pantry. We are a volunteer-run organization and do not always have drivers and trucks available for pick-up.

4. Place collected items in boxes or sturdy grocery bags and deliver to Food Pantry.

5. The Food Pantry is open Monday - Thursday, 9:00 am to 12:00 pm and the 3rd Friday of every month. If you need to deliver your donations at another time, please notify the Food Pantry in advance of your food drive.
