Donate Food
Florence Food Share is dependent on your donations of food and money. We work because you care! Did you know that Food Share served 6558 households emergency food boxes in 2009-2010? The food in those boxes fed 17977 individuals!
Food Share is a part of the network of pantries of The Oregon Food Bank and an affiliate of FOOD for Lane County but they only supply less than half of the food we distribute per year. The rest comes from local individual and retail donations.
During the fiscal year 2009-2010 (July through June) we received 235,000 pounds of food from local donors.
Donation Suggestions
Florence Food Share accepts all un-opened non-perishable and frozen foods in original packaging. Perishable foods are accepted if they are donated before the ‘use-by’ date. Sorry, no home canned foods. If you donate bulk foods in 10, 25, 50 or 100# size, we will break it down to family size quantities and distribute it to as many people as possible.
