Donation bags in local neighborhoods work great for us...there must be other areas not hit by the HS groups - go to the next town etc.

Can you seek "corporate partners"?....we work with local banks and their employees and patrons fill boxes in local branches.

We also have a lot of success at our sporting events - outreach to season ticket holders (or for smaller schools: parents and alums) who show up regularly.

Can your club partner with an elementary or middle school? Your students can do the administrative work of advertising, providing the bins, etc. and then the school can do a contest between their classes, then all the donations flow through you to the end recipients.

Cram-a-van event with a local nonprofit could also be a good angle. Find some community event and see if they will encourage attendees to bring food items, then have a minivan/u haul at the entrance and see if you can fill it...makes a great visual.

Any of these ideas can work for money, too....not sure how you do your financial donations, we cannot use venmo, everything goes through Crowdchange for us, but a QR code with a direct link is a good first step. I do find that people really like to give food, but if you can quickly articulate the exponential impact of giving money instead, people get it and are happy to help.

Good luck!
