Did you know that with $10 gift to your food bank, you can provide as many as 100 meals to those in your area in need?

 

Or, if you’d rather give of your time, see if you are able volunteer in your area.

 

Food banks across the country are doing what they do best – feeding people in need within their communities. The Feeding America Network is the largest hunger-relief organization in the United States, including disasters and national emergencies.

A donation goes even further than donating hard goods. Rather than paying retail prices, our network of food banks works with major manufacturers, retailers, and farmers to secure healthy food. This means that when you donate a dollar, you’re able to put more meals on the tables of families than if you donated food purchased at the store.

A Huge Need

For people already living paycheck-to-paycheck, COVID-19 makes life even more challenging. Many people in this situation are already making tough choices between food and bills, or food and medicine. When hours are cut or jobs are lost completely, as they have been recently, those choices become even more difficult. Often, families won’t have enough money to purchase a 14-day supply of food, or don’t have enough savings to cover bills if their income is compromised. For those people, and for everyone impacted in need of food, Feeding America’s food banks are responding every day, connecting those in need with healthy food.

Do Good and Shelter in Place all at the Same Time!

Because of their network, every dollar donated to Feeding America helps secure and distribute at least 12 pounds of food — the equivalent of 10 meals — through our nationwide network of food banks.

Are You in Need at This Time?

You aren’t alone! In these uncertain times, many of us need a temporary helping hand, and food banks across the country are there to provide that support. Anyone can receive help from a food bank. In most cases, to receive food, all you have to provide is proof that you live in the area near where you’re getting food. Find your local food bank and contact them to locate your closest food distribution.
