Looking for a Fun and Creative Way to Help Channel One?
Try our Virtual Food Drive!
A Virtual Food Drive is an incredibly easy way to engage your participants in supporting Channel One Regional Food Bank. It is fast, easy, environmentally friendly and fun! Participants are able to log on and make a donation by virtually experiencing purchasing food to donate. Donors are able to see online how much food they can buy with Channel One’s purchasing power. Try an example of the Virtual Food Drive here.
Channel One receives the monetary donation, not the actual food purchased during the Virtual Food Drive. The Virtual Food Drive is meant for the donor to understand the purchasing power of Channel One and the ability we have to stretch the dollar.
Channel One can create a Virtual Food Drive specific for your organization, and you will receive a link to send out to all of your participants. To get started, please contact Maggie at (507) 424-1705 or maggieparham@channel-one.org.
