2026 Food Drive

A Few Important Items to Note:

• The contest guidelines have been updated: First, second and third place winners will now be determined by the total pounds of food collected per unit at each participating community.

• Barrels are not provided. You will get a flat-pack box, which CAA will distribute at the October luncheon. You may also collect in any sturdy box you would like to use. It does not have to be a box from the Food Bank.

  • Please allow 30 days for your collection period. Once your collection is complete, take your box(es) to one of the drop-off locations (listed in the column to the right) to be weighed and donated. All donations must be dropped off by December 31.

• The Food Bank no longer picks up or drops off at your location.

• Be sure to request a weight slip when you drop off your donation. Your donation must be weighed to qualify for the CAA Food Drive competition. After receiving your weight slip, please email a copy or photo to admin@caatn.org to ensure your entry is recorded.

• When dropping off your donation, please provide the name of your community/company and let the Food Bank know that you are participating in the Chattanooga Apartment Association Food Drive.

• You can also donate using the QR code in the flyer to the right. Please note that monetary donations are greatly appreciated, but they do not count toward the Food Drive competition.
