For businesses In partnership with Okemos High School
Put your business behind the drive.
Every November, students across Okemos fill boxes for neighbors who need them — and local businesses are what make it work. Sponsors host donation boxes, chip in raffle prizes, and cover what the drive can't. In return your name goes on the campaign that the whole town sees.

What your name buys.
-
Food on shelves in your own town
Nothing is shipped out of the area and nothing goes through a warehouse. It goes to the Okemos Community Food Pantry and the high school's Care Closet — the same families your customers live next door to.
-
Students doing the work
This is run by high schoolers, not a marketing department. Sponsoring puts your business behind young people organizing something real.
-
Visibility where the town is looking
Campaign signage in schools and drop-off spots around town, social posts through drive week, and a spot on this site. The drive has been covered by WILX News 10 and the MSU Spartan Newsroom.
