The Holiday Food Drive is held each year between Thanksgiving and Christmas. In 2009 it will run from November 16 through December 22. To kick off the drive, the Lincoln Journal Star will insert grocery bags with the slogan "Think of this bag as an empty cupboard. Help us fill it" into 68,000 newspapers on Monday, November 16.
Friends of the Food Bank can fill these bags with food and drop them off in a Food Bank barrel at over 30 participating grocery stores in Lincoln and surrounding communities. Many stores will also have prepacked holiday food bags that customers can buy to fill the barrels.
The 2009 Holiday Food Drive is sponsored by Cooks Ham, Meadow Gold Dairy, West Gate Bank, 10/11 Television, and the Lincoln Journal Star. Since its inception, the Holiday Food Drive has brought in over 1.7 million pounds of food.
