SLAA to Host a Food Drive

Event Details

For 60 days, March 1 – April 30

SLAA members and their residents have made a huge impact over the years by collecting nonperishable items for the St. Louis Area Foodbank to distribute to over 500 pantries and shelters in St. Louis County & St. Louis City, St. Charles, Jefferson County, and Illinois counties, just to name a few!

To reach out to those less fortunate, SLAA will team up with the St. Louis Foodbank again this year. Properties will have 60 days to collect items, March 1 – April 30. Your commitment to this fundraiser is very much appreciated.

If your property participates, your main responsibility is to market this food drive to your friends, families, and residents; via newsletters or social media platforms.

The Foodbank will drop off barrels prior to March 1st, or at least close to that date. After April 30, the Foodbank will pick up the barrels. It may take a couple of weeks to complete this task.

SLAA will again challenge our membership! The property that collects the most pounds of non-perishable items will receive a $150.00 VISA gift card, enough for your entire staff to enjoy lunch!

COVID 19 - Logistical Information You Need to Know

Foodbank's assigned driver will call your property when they are on their way to deliver the barrel. The time frame of delivery will all be dependent on how many other stops the driver has on their route that day. We appreciate your flexibility.

If your leasing office is locked or closed to regular traffic , the barrels can be left outside the door. However, when you register, please indicate how you want this handled.

If you need extra pick-ups over the 60 days, you may email Jordan Brennan, Product Donation Coordinator, 314.292.5391, jbrennan@stlfoodbank.org.

Please allow 24 – 48 hours for a return call and/or your items to be pick-up.

Other Questions -call Karen or Deb @ the SLAA Offfice @ 314-205-8844.

Remember – the drive ends on April 30^th.
