Holiday Food Drive

The Holiday Food Drive is held each year between Thanksgiving and Christmas. In 2011 it will run from November 15 through December 23. To kick off the drive, the Lincoln Journal Star will insert grocery bags with the slogan "Think of this bag as an empty cupboard. Help us fill it" into 61,000 newspapers on Monday, November 15.

 

Friends of the Food Bank can fill these bags with food and drop them off in a Food Bank barrel at over 29 participating grocery stores in Lincoln and surrounding communities. Many stores will also have prepacked holiday food bags that customers can buy to fill the barrels.

 

The 2011 Holiday Food Drive is sponsored by Schaefer's, Land O Lakes, State Farm, 10/11 Television, and the Lincoln Journal Star. Since its inception, the Holiday Food Drive has brought in over 2 million pounds of food.
