This year, for the first time, the Foodbank of the Virginia Peninsula would like to encourage you to help out the hungry by donating through our "Virtual Food Drive".

Through this Internet-based solution, you will be able to make monetary donations to the Foodbank of the Virginia Peninsula so that we may buy the food that is desperately needed. Why are we using the "Virtual Food Drive"? The answer is simple - we are able to get more of the goods that hungry Virginian's, on the upper, lower and middle Peninsula who really need need help through the traditional food drives and non-traditional Food Drives. With the Virtual Food Drive, we are able to respond quickly and obtain the items that our member agencies are requesting.

The Foodbank can also stretch your dollars. We buy overstock items from selected vendors in large quantities at a large savings. In many cases, we can buy three or four times the as much as you can at the grocery store for the same money. With the "Virtual Food Drive", you can be assured that the Foodbank gets exactly the food items that are needed most - no trying to figure out what's needed most this month!

The money donated through the "Virtual Food Drive" is tax-deductible and easier to figure out at tax time. Not to mention that you don't have to make an extra trip to the store in order to participate in a food drive!

The "Virtual Food Drive" concept is also great for businesses and organizations wanting to participate in food drive activities. Collect the money for the goods that are needed rather than having coworkers bring in food from home and then has to be transported to the Food Bank. With the "Virtual Food Drive", you can set up easy to judge giving contests between departments, divisions, locations, or individuals.

So, go on. Give it a try. It's really easy - just select the help you want to provide, checkout as you would with any on-line shopping experience. We even take all major credit cards. You may never go back to the traditional food drive again!
