Virtual Food Drive for the Capital Area
Food Bank |
|
|
|
|
|
|
"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." |

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 |
