Host a Food Drive
Start a Virtual Food Drive
A virtual food drive is an easy and fun online alternative to a traditional non-perishable food drive.
By creating your own personal fundraising page and encouraging your friends and family to give, you can make a far greater impact than you would by collecting food on your own!
All funds raised in a virtual food drive support Nourishing Hope’s general operating expenses.
Support our mission of providing food, mental health counseling and social services to Chicagoans in need.
