How to Host a Drive | Resources | FAQs
Interested in hosting a Food & Fund Drive but don’t know where to start?
It’s easy when you follow these three basic steps and use the free flyers, signs, campaign ideas, and toolkit.
STEP 1: Register
Fill out a brief form to register your drive and select a drop-off date (if you expect your drive to be a large haul). You’ll get an email confirmation, a food drive toolkit, and the opportunity to ask any additional questions you might have.
Register your drive here!
STEP 2: Plan & Promote
Drives are entirely customizable! Decide if you want to have a theme—like collecting only a single type of item, Menstrual Hygiene, Snack Packs, etc. When you register, you’ll get a toolkit with campaign ideas and promotional resources to help you share with your group.
STEP 3: Drop Off
Bring your donations to The Open Door: 3000 Ames Crossing Rd, Suite 100, Eagan, MN 55121. Drop-offs can be scheduled during office hours by contacting us. Additional drop-off hours are available for registered drives upon request.
