SYH Fund Drive
What is a fund drive?
A fund drive is where you collect monetary donations to gift to the food bank to help support the many programs aimed at providing food to those in need.
Is it better to donate money than food?
Both money and food greatly help support our mission to lead the fight to end hunger. With GCFB being a member of Feeding America and Feeding Texas, our buying power allows us to provide 4 meals for every $1, which gives us the ability to purchase more food than individuals can going to the grocery store.
