Hold a Fundraiser for OFS

What’s a Community FUNdraiser?

A Community FUNdraiser is an activity or event hosted by someone like you who wants to make a difference in the community.

Individuals, families, schools and businesses can all help support OFS’s mission to heal hunger by providing crucial funds to ensure no one goes hungry.

From lemonade stands to garage sales…from read-a-thons to round ups at the register, there are countless ways to get creative, have fun and heal hunger.

Every dollar you raise helps feed families across the region.

People running in the cold.

What is a Third-Party Fundraising Event?

A third-party fundraiser is an event planned by an individual, group or organization to raise monetary donations to benefit Operation Food Search or one of its specific programs.
