Donate Money. It’s as easy as buying on Amazon.com, and you’ll feel better afterward!
Cash is king and in this case, it’s truer than ever. We are so grateful to anyone who donates their time, expertise, and of course, food, but the donation that does the most good is money. Cash donations afford Hunger Task Force the flexibility to purchase items we are low on AND at 50 cents on the dollar. That’s right. You donate $1 and we buy $2 worth of food. $50 - $100 worth of food. You can do the math.
That’s not all that cash donation can do to fight hunger, though. We deliver our food FREE of charge to our network of food pantries, soup kitchens, and homeless shelters. No agency in our network pays a penny to receive our food. It wouldn’t be right. Think about it. These locations are run mainly by volunteers out of the good of their heart on a shoestring budget. We believe that it’s more important to remove barriers between the food we provide and the people who need it, and that means getting that food to them for free... but it isn’t free to deliver food. We use donations to pay for trucks, warehouse space, event gas. All of the costs that make delivering food so expensive. It’s a necessary evil, but we refuse to pass it along.
Your donation can do more than just pay for food and making sure its delivered locally for free. It can effect change in legislation to protect the hungry. Our advocates lobby your representatives for common-sense solutions to ending hunger, including leading community education and outreach, and working directly with community leaders on feeding the poor.
And of course, your donation to Hunger Task Force is tax deductible to the fullest extent of the law.
