March is Virtual Food Drive Month at the Toledo Northwestern Ohio Food Bank.
“We have developed the technology to make it easier for individuals or companies to sponsor food drives right on the Toledo Northwestern Ohio Food Bank website,” said James Caldwell, president and CEO. “Hosting or participating in a food drive now is as simple as a few clicks.”
By accessing the link food driveonline.org/toledofood bank/, people can click on badly needed products from the “shelf” to the “cart” where they are totaled.
Once the “shopping” is completed, donors enter their credit card in the checkout portion for the final amount. In lieu of taking the time to shop, donors can simply enter an amount they wish to donate.
Mr. Caldwell noted, “This is a wonderful way for groups of caring people to make a huge difference in our region. Individuals can ask their friends to join with them, or employees at companies can work together to sponsor a company branded drive.”
He added, “In any case, groups large or small, or a person by themselves, will be making a difference in the lives of their neighbors throughout northwest Ohio.”
The Virtual Food Drive Month runs through March 31.
