Make a Year-Round Impact. Join Beyond Hunger 365
There is no short-term solution to hunger. The Chester County Food Bank depends on reliable, steady support to ensure access to real, healthy food every day of every month.
Will you be a part of our “Beyond Hunger 365“ monthly giving community? We appreciate every single monetary donation and every item of food that comes to us from fundraisers and one-time donations. But, to carry on our mission to the best of our ability, we’re looking for a group of supporters who are passionate about changing the face of hunger in our county to pledge a consistent amount each month.
We call the program “Beyond Hunger 365” because this truly sums up the scope of food insecurity and the magnitude of the problem we’re fighting to solve. Families who are struggling to consistently put enough food on their tables aren’t just struggling during the holidays. It’s an issue that’s relevant every day of every month of the year. In fact, more than 40,000 of our neighbors face food insecurity year-round, and together, we can make a big impact in our neighborhoods to ensure access to real, healthy food.
To help make a real change, a monthly gift doesn’t need to be monumental. Actually, just like putting money aside in a college fund, into retirement, or toward another savings goal, a small amount that is set aside each month can really add up! This “set it and forget it” principle is not only effective for donors, but it is also great for the organization (that’s us, CCFB). Through this program, we can look at the fiscal year ahead and have an accurate sense of the funds that will be consistently available for our work.
For example, a monthly gift of just $12 is enough to provide fresh produce to a family of two through our fruit and veggie prescription program, Fruit & Vegetable Prescription. That’s the equivalent of one lunch a month that you pack instead of grabbing takeout. A monthly gift of $50 will help provide a month’s worth of food to two seniors, some of the most vulnerable people in our community, through our Senior Grocery Box program. Even just $5, the price of a fancy morning latte, can help to make an enormous difference in the life of someone in need.
Join us today, and remember: A little goes a long way! Together we can make an amazing impact in Chester County.
