Frequently Asked Questions:
What is a Virtual Food Drive?
Unlike a traditional food drive, in which physical non-perishable items are collected and later donated to the Food Bank, a Virtual Food Drive (VFD) is completely organized through online efforts. VFDs allow you to raise funds to support the purchase of food and eliminates the hassle of collecting, lifting, and dropping off physical food items to the Food Bank of South Jersey.
Why are Virtual Food Drives Important?
There is power in a community united! Every $1 donated to the Virtual Food Drive is equivalent to 2 meals. The Food Bank purchases food in bulk quantities, which reduces the amount spent on items and maximizes the impact of each donation received. Right now, 1 in 10 people and 1 in 7 children in South Jersey experience food insecurity. Contributions to the Virtual Food Drive are directed to support nutrition education and feeding programs to increase food security in Burlington, Camden, Gloucester, and Camden counties.
