Welcome
to the 5th Annual Miles for Food website.
For
years now our small field of participants continue to show that
when it comes to food drives - quality entrants trumps quantity
any day! And Miles for Food teams/entrants are hands
down the absolute best quality you can find!
2010 was our fourth season and yet again - we smashed, I mean
smashed the prior years record. Now keep in mind that 2009
event yielded an unprecedented donation to Operation Food Search
making our event their highest volume, single day food drive in
their organizations history. That donation was valued at
$21,662.25. Our 2010 donation value was......
$40,625.59
Like
I said - Miles for Food entrants are the best!!

5th
Annual Miles for Food
ATTENTION
ENTRANTS!!! ****2011 Team Fundraising Format has Changed****
The original minimums of $750.00 and 1,250 can food items have
changed. We are now going to a single system based on
points. This will greatly simplify the tally systems.
Here is the new format:
1 Food Item = 1pt
1 Dollar = 1pt.
3,000 is the minimum number of point needed for teams to participate
on event day
Teams decide individually how to reach the minimum requirements -
cash/cans or a combination.
