Plan a micro food drive in your church, school, business, family, or neighborhood now to maximize your support on Tuesday, December 12th. Your small food drive, paired with those of others, turns in to a huge amount of support for hungry families in Acadiana.

Why are micro food drives important?

Last years Food for Families drive was a smashing success, raising over 45,000 lbs of non-perishable food for FoodNet. The reason wasn't because a few big sources companies dropped off mammoth loads; It's because families, neighborhoods, small businesses, church groups, day cares, and associated groups did micro food drives. The success came through the collective impact of many. Leaders, challenge your employees to bring in a jar of peanut butter. Pastors, do a pasta drive. Micro drives = a huge amount of support for hungry families in Acadiana.

Micro Drives: Small Food Drives with a Big Impact

The importance of smaller food drives cannot be overstated. Food insecurity is a significant issue affecting countless individuals and families in Acadiana. In the fight against hunger, smaller food drives (micro drives) play a crucial role in bringing about a collective impact. As smaller food drives culminate in a bigger collective impact, they provide FoodNet Food Bank with much-needed resources to serve the community more effectively. By pooling together these donations with other micro drives, FoodNet and its partner pantries can better address the immediate needs of individuals and families facing hunger.
