A food drive flyer that says what to bring.

The Riverside Lions run a holiday food drive every December with a box in the library. The flyer goes up in the library, the grocery store and the church hall, and the first question is always the same: what should I bring?

Why it works

The shopping list is the tagline: canned goods, pasta, rice, cereal, peanut butter. Unopened, in date.
Dates, opening hours and the drop-off point share the brush band, so the flyer answers when and where at a glance.
The picture is a full box, not a sad empty one. People give more to something that looks like it is working.

Questions

What should a food drive flyer say?

What to bring (a short list), what not to bring, the dates, the drop-off place and hours, and who it helps. The shopping list matters most: it is the first question people ask.

Should I list what not to bring?

One line is enough: unopened and in date. Leave out long rules; they put people off.

Is it free?

The preview is free, and your first poster is free without signing in, in every format, with a small "Made with actualtaste.com" in the corner. Sign in and the next one is free too, without it. After that one poster costs 49 kr (about €5 or $5).
