How can I help?
For more information about
how you can help the Food Bank, please see the How You Can Help
section of our webpage. There you can find information on donating and
volunteering. Further, please see the Needed Items
section of our webpage. It is frequently updated with the items that the Food
Bank is running low on, as well as any information we have about where these
items can be found on sale or at reduced rates.
What is the best time to
drop off a donation?
All
donations can be dropped off in our new donation garage. The door to this area will be open all day everyday. We
would like to keep our front porch free of all donations to make it safe for
clients and volunteers. If you would
like to make a monetary donation, please make checks payable to
: Mandarin Food Bank
I heard that the Food
Bank needs coupons from the Sunday paper?
Yes! There are two or more
coupon inserts in the Sunday paper each week (in the glossy section). If you
wish to donate yours, drop them off at the Food Bank or leave them in the Food
Bank Box in the Gathering Area of St. Joseph’s Church.
We have a dedicated
volunteer who sorts through the coupons in order to find those that the Food
Bank can use in bulk to purchase large amounts of needed items. We can save
hundreds of dollars every week using these coupons.
We have an annual family
reunion coming up and there is always leftover food; can the Food Bank accept
this food as a donation?
Yes, as long as we are
notified before the food is broken down at the event. We would need to instruct
someone attending the event how to prepare and transport the food or arrange
for a volunteer to pick it up. We suggest calling the week ahead to make us
aware that there may be leftover food you are interested in donating.
I see prepared bags of
food for people to purchase for donation to food banks at local grocery stores.
Does that food come to the Mandarin Food Bank?
Yes, Publix
(
