Host a drive: Help Nourish the Texas Panhandle
Food drives are a powerful way to fight hunger and bring people together in support of our mission to alleviate hunger in the Texas Panhandle. Whether you’re rallying coworkers, customers, neighbors, students, friends, or family, every effort makes a difference.
High Plains Food Bank offers three flexible, impactful ways to host a food drive: Online Fundraisers, Traditional Food & Fund Drives, and #GiveHealthy Drives. Choose the option that best suits your group—or combine them to multiply your impact.
All August-November drives qualify for HPFB’s annual Together We Can Holiday Food & Fund Drive with trophies for the most impactful elementary, middle, and high school, along with contests for our top church and corporate partner.
Host an Online Fundraiser
Raise meals, not cans! Online peer-to-peer fundraisers are the most efficient and impactful way to support High Plains Food Bank.
- Maximize your impact. With our bulk purchasing power, just $1 provides up to 9 meals to our neighbors in need.
- Safe and secure. Contact-free giving allows supporters to donate from anywhere.
- Flexible and creative. Celebrate a birthday, launch a friendly competition, or host themed events.
- Simple logistics. No need to handle or transport food. Donations go directly to HPFB and are attributed to your fundraiser in real time.
- More nutritious options. Virtual giving allows us to source high-demand items like protein, produce, and other perishables that traditional drives can’t always provide.

Host a Traditional Food & Fund Drive
We still welcome and appreciate traditional food and fund drives! Collecting and delivering nonperishable food and funds to the food bank is a tangible way to engage and make a visible impact.
- Great for schools, businesses, and places of worship.
- Use your own containers to collect HPFB’s most requested items and other non-perishable food.
- Drop off donations at our warehouse, located at 815 S Ross, Amarillo, TX 79102. Receiving hours are Monday–Friday, 8:00-11:30 AM or 1:00–3:30 PM for official weighing and acknowledgment.
- Amplify your impact and register for a group volunteer shift to help inspect, sort, and pack donated food—ensuring it’s distributed efficiently to our neighbors.
Host a #GiveHealthy Drive
Looking to donate fresh, nutritious food—without the hassle of collecting cans or storing boxes?
The #GiveHealthy platform offers a new way to donate food online, enabling you and your supporters to purchase and donate fresh fruits, vegetables, and essential shelf-stable items. Perfect for individuals or groups prioritizing wellness, #GiveHealthy drives make it easy to donate fresh, nutritious food that supports long-term health.
