Food for Families Food Drive 2026

Big Collection Day is Friday, November 20th, 8 a.m. -5 p.m.

Each year in November on the Friday before Thanksgiving the WFB holds the annual Food for Families Food Drive. Donations of food and money are collected that day at the Food Bank. Throughout the month prior to Collection Day, businesses, schools, churches and community groups gather donations on their own that are then given to the Food Bank. All donations, including online donations made during the month of November, count toward the annual goal.

Today, Our Daily Bread serves more than 400 families each month, representing an average of 925 family members, and distributes approximately 20,000 pounds of food each month.

To help meet this growing need, our goal for the 2026 Food for Families Food Drive is 75,000 pounds. All food and monetary donations received during the month of November count toward this goal.

Many people in the local community help by volunteering their time directly at the Whitney Food Bank. Others help in different ways by organizing community events or using a particular talent of theirs to help the food bank.
