Feinstein “Million-Dollar Challenge”
March 1, 2007 to April 30, 2007
“If a man from Rhode Island is willing to help fight hunger in your
community, won’t you please consider donating?”
The Rhode Island philanthropist, Alan Shawn Feinstein, will add money to
monetary or food donations given to the Community Food Bank between March
1 and April 30.
For the tenth year in a row, Feinstein will divide $1 million nationwide
among agencies involved in the fight against hunger that use it to help
them raise funds during March and April 2007.
Every anti-hunger organization in the U.S. can earn a share of the $1
million – up to $50,000. Each dollar collected is worth $1, and each pound
of food collected is also worth $1 in this annual challenge to fight
hunger.
Help the Community Food Bank receive a part of the $1 million by donating
to our Feinstein Virtual Food Drive Here!
Stamp Out Hunger” Letter Carriers Drive
May 12, 2007
12:00 am to 2:00 pm
Virtual Food Drive, Click here
On Saturday, May 12, 2007, Southern Arizona letter carriers will
collect food donations to benefit those at greatest risk in an effort to
fight hunger during the National Association of Letter Carriers’ annual
Stamp Out Hunger food drive.
For the 15th year, the Community Food Bank will join the letter
carriers’ effort to provide food to depleted supplies. “In a typical year
the Community Food Bank receives enough food from holiday drives to last
until the National Letter Carriers Food Drive. This past year holiday
giving was down and we have already exhausted our food drive supply,” said
Bill Carnegie, Community Food Bank CEO.
To help Stamp Out Hunger in Southern Arizona, simply leave a bag of
non-perishable foods, such as canned soup, canned vegetables, pasta, rice
or cereal next to your mailbox prior to the time of regular mail delivery
on May 12. Food items should be in non-breakable containers such as boxes
or cans. Local letter carriers will collect donations and deliver them to
the Community Food Bank.
“May 12th marks the date that we can make a significant impact on
hunger in Southern Arizona. With the help of every letter carrier, their
families, the staff of the Community Food Bank and hundreds of local
volunteers, we CAN make a difference,” added Carnegie.
