FAQs:
1. When is the drive?
• The drive will run from April 15–26. Donation barrels will be delivered the week before the drive and picked-up for ease of participation.
2. What is the deadline for signing up to participate in the drive?
• Our absolute deadline to sign-up as a participant in the drive is Monday, April 8th. Unfortunately we cannot accept any new participants after that date. After that date, you are more than welcome to collect food in support of the drive, but you will have to arrange for the food to be delivered to Metro CareRing yourself.

• Our Metro CareRing Volunteer Drivers will pick-up your donations the week of April 29th. We cannot determine the exact date and time of pick-up, so please let us know of any issues you have.
5. What if we collect more donations than the barrels will hold?
