No headers"When doing the right thing becomes easy, big changes happen. SuperFood Drive is one of these right things made easy. Everyone learns and benefits: the person donating, the store participating, the individual receiving and as a result, the community benefits."
-Ben Brown, MD in Santa Rosa, CA
SuperFood Drive is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to providing healthy non-perishables to populations in need.
Individuals typically respond to food drives by pulling cans from the back of pantries. SuperFood Drive aims to transform this process through community outreach and education and provide nutritious foods to the those who would not otherwise have access to them.
Founded in January 2009 in San Diego, California by Ruthi Solari, Nutritionist and Corporate Wellness Professional, SuperFood Drive pursues a vision in which every man, woman and child has access to nutritious food that is essential for an active and healthy life. Since 2009, SuperFood Drive has been successfully spreading to other cities and states throughout the country with the help of very passionate volunteer staff and exceptional community partners.
SuperFood Drive works very closely with food banks in each community. The first step of bringing SuperFood Drive to a new area is to establish a cooperative partnership in which SuperFood Drive provides the education and community outreach to increase awareness about healthy eating while the food bank provides the logistical support of collection and distribution of the foods that are collected.
In 2010 we aim to collect over 1,000,000 pounds of nutrient dense non-perishable SuperFoods to be distributed throughout our country to the hungry and the poor. We need your help! If each state collects 20,000 pounds of nutritious food, we will meet our goal. It is easy to get involved by hosting a SuperFood Drive in your own community. Act today and help us "Give the Gift of Health," one can at a time.
Consistent with the United Nations Association's First Millenium Development Goal: Eradicate Extreme Poverty and Hunger, SuperFood Drive is an effort to fight hunger and raise awareness about the importance of nutrition in America as well as abroad.
