Virtual Food Drive for the Capital Area Food Bank – PLEASE HELP NOW!

CLICK HERE TO DONATE The link takes you directly to Capital Area Food Bank website to Donate.

“For every dollar that is donated (to Capital Area Food Bank), 92 cents goes directly to feeding people in need. That means that last year we were able to feed more than 383,000 hungry stomachs. And as the down economy continues to affect more and more area residents, our 700 area partner agencies, including food pantries, day care and recreation centers, senior centers, faith-based organizations, homeless shelters and soup kitchens, are asking for more help than ever before.”   CLICK HERE TO DONATE The link takes you directly to Capital Area Food Bank website to Donate. Why the Virtual Food Drive..   1. The money donated through the “Virtual Food Drive” is tax-deductible and easier to figure out at tax time. Not to mention that you don’t have to make an extra trip to the store in order to participate in a food drive!   2. The dollars donated are worth more because we can save money through special partnerships with large food donors and by buying food items in bulk. For each $1 donated through a virtual food drive we can distribute almost $9 of food, enough for about four meals

3. The donations go towards purchasing the foods that traditional food drives don’t bring in, such as perishable items like fresh produce, meats, and breads.

4. Also, the virtual food drive is easy and fun to use! It’s just like shopping online and you’ll immediately know how many meals your donation has helped to provide.

5. The virtual food drive allows us to lower our costs because there are no transportation costs or volunteer hours needed

Capital area FoodBank Needs your HELP – Please Help them feed our Neighbors http://www.capitalareafoodbank.org

 This past year hasn’t been as prosperous as I had wanted, but it still was good. Very good in this  economic environment – in fact. Many of our neighbors were not as fortunate. Unfortunately there are those in the nations capitol (our neighbors) with great needs. The soup lines are growing. Have you by chance passed Franklin Park (between 13th and 14th Streets at K NW) at dinner time.  If you have you saw literally hundreds of mostly men and some women standing in line for a warm meal. I was moved. Being about these street for years, I’ve seen these lines before, but never a crowd. Ending hunger in our town is within or power.   (www.capitalareafoodbank.org) .
