What Is a Food Drive?

It refer to an activity where people bring extra food from their homes to collection points or events, and donate it to local welfare facilities, children's cafeterias and organizations that support people in need.

Food can be collected at many places, such as public facilities, schools, companies, and event venues.

The Purpose of a Food Drive

The need for a food drive

01.

Reduce food loss
at home

Anyone can easily donate food to people who need help.
Donating extra food also helps reduce food waste.
Through food drives, we can become more aware of social issues such as food waste, and take steps toward solving them.
02.

Deliver food as support
to people who need it

Food drives do not directly distribute food to people in need.
First, food is collected at schools and workplaces, then donated to local support facilities such as food banks and children's cafeterias. Then, these organizations distribute the food to people in need.
