Use your corporate power for community good.

Time is a gift to hungry kids, seniors, and others who may not have enough to eat. 

If your corporate group or organization would like to volunteer as a group, please contact Ana Ceja at aceja@foodbankrgv.com directly to see what opportunities are available.

Don’t have the time to volunteer? Here are some fun ways to engage your group or organization. 

Payroll  Deduction / Employee Giving

Payroll deductions are an easy and simple way to make charitable donations directly from your paycheck. This tax-deductible donation is one of the most cost-effective ways to donate to the Food Bank RGV. Please ask your company’s HR Department if there is a matching gift program which can double the amount of your gift.

Jeans Day

Everyone loves an opportunity to wear jeans to work! Your employees pay only $5 in order to wear jeans to work for a day, or $20 for a full week. Funds raised will be donated to help fight hunger with the Food Bank RGV.

Coffee Day

Instead of your morning coffee, please consider helping provide a meal to someone in need. This is as easy as skipping your morning coffee for a day and donating the cost of that beverage to Food Bank RGV.

Food Drive

Please consider hosting a Food Drive online. Collect monetary donations in place of food items. The Food Bank RGV is able to make your dollar stretch further because of the strategic and robust partnerships we hold. Every dollar donated will provide up to 5 healthy and nutritious meals for our clients most in need.

Ex:  $1=6lbs of Food    6 lbs. of Food = 5 meals.

Materials and customized donation pages are readily available to ensure Virtual Food Drives are a successful and fulfilling office event.
