Food donations under 1,500 pounds: The Food Bank considers donations under 1,500 pounds (or the size of two standard pickup truck beds) as individual donations and kindly asks that you deliver them directly to the Food Bank or one of our many partners with food pantries. To find a pantry near you, click HERE. Some food pantries are only open on certain days and would prefer to set a time with you for your drop-off. To ensure successful delivery please call the pantry before delivering your donation. For your safety and ours, please wear closed-toe shoes when dropping off your donations, and don’t exceed the speed limit of 5 mph around the drop-off zone.
Food donations over 1,500 pounds: For food donations over 1,500 pounds, contact our team to schedule a pick-up. Please ensure all donations are packed in cardboard boxes with sturdy bottoms or strong bags that will not tear or tip over. Contact our donation coordinators at 512-282-2111 Ext: 1404.
