    LIFE Food Pantry Encourages Food Drives due to Donation Shortages

    by Cassie Mattia

    Loveland, Ohio – Are you a local business, organization, church, or school that is looking for an opportunity to give back to the community? Well now is your chance as LIFE Food Pantry needs your help!

    During this time of the year donations to food pantries tend to slow down while the need for donations either stays the same or increases. This issue is a constant battle every year. In order for LIFE Food Pantry to continue serving the 45140 zip code by providing food, financial assistance, and additional programs for those in need, they are asking for the community to rally around one another and host food drives!

    Food Drives not only help stock LIFE Food Pantry’s shelves but also raise awareness in the community and encourage groups of people to come together for a great cause. Anyone can host a food drive and anyone can participate, you just have to be willing to organize it and make it happen! In the past businesses and organizations such as Loveland High School’s Tiger Inc, the Loveland Symmes Police Department, Loveland’s Kroger, Paxton’s Grill, the Loveland Athletic Boosters, and many more have hosted successful food drives. Doing good can be fun as you can be as creative as you want to be when organizing and hosting a food drive! 

    Ready for the challenge?! If you would like to host a food drive visit LIFE Food Pantry’s website, call the pantry at 513-583-8222, or shoot them an email. You can always stop by to discuss food drive possibilities as LIFE Food Pantry is located at 541 Loveland-Madeira Rd, Loveland Ohio 45140 and their hours are Tuesday 10 a.m.-12 p.m and 4-6:30 p.m, Wednesday 10 a.m.-12 p.m, Thursday 10 a.m.-12 p.m and 4-6:30 p.m, Friday 10 a.m.-12 p.m, and Saturday 10 a.m.-12 p.m.

    Non-profits, place of worship, or charity: How to apply for FREE or reduced rate advertising

    Every non-profit, place of worship, or charity needs to follow these guidelines to receive FREE or reduced rate advertising or promotion in Loveland Magazine.

    Advertising is crucial for a successful community event or fund raiser. If you don’t have enough money to pay for advertising Loveland Magazine can help, however, we must receive something in return. Your return is to prominently recognize and promote Loveland Magazine as your “Media Sponsor” before, during, and after your event.

    Applying early broadens our effectiveness in publicizing your event and lessons your cost.

    What do you receive?

    Loveland Magazine is prepared to provide your non- profit, place of worship, or charity with free or deeply discounted advertising.

    What is your obligation?

    Your organization will provide Loveland Magazine with logo recognition in print materials and on websites, priority access such as the first crack at interviews, backstage access, or other perks non-sponsors don’t receive. The Loveland Magazine logo will appear in press releases and event programs. You will plaster the Loveland Magazine logo on tee-shirts, print materials, signage and banners, and your emcee will heap praises on Loveland Magazine on event day. We will receive tickets to the event and reserved tables at the event.

    What Media Sponsorship is NOT

    Loveland Magazine does not provide editorial coverage. We may be motivated to cover your event or organization as a result of our business relationship with you, however, your sponsorship agreement is with the advertising department, not the editorial side of Loveland Magazine. Loveland Magazine being your “exclusive media sponsor”, does not mean other news outlets will not be welcome to attend and cover your event.

    One more note

    Our sponsorship is a financial transaction, not a gift or in- kind support from Loveland Magazine to your organization. You are doing business with Loveland Magazine, and we don’t look at you as a charity, even though you may be a registered charity. This is a business opportunity and both parties can expect something in return.

    How to apply for FREE advertising

    Please do this during your very early planning and not as an afterthought. The benefit to your organization is that you will receive more publicity the earlier both parties come to an agreement on what each will receive in return. If you approach the date of your event and advertising or promotion in Loveland Magazine is a mere afterthought it benefits neither party and you may be asked at the late date to pay our normal advertising rate.

    Send an email to lovelandmagazine@cinci.rr.com with the who, why, where, and what – and a description of what your organization is offering in return for FREE or reduced rate advertising.

    Loveland Magazine retains the right to reject any and all advertising inquiries.
