Donation Goal: $300,000

Although fundraising is optional, Fight Hunger is a pledge-based event, and we are grateful for participants who choose to raise funds to support our mission. Thanks to our friends at US Foods, every donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $25,000, so now is the perfect time to aim high.

Every dollar you raise helps provide meals for neighbors facing hunger across our service area. Ready to reach your goal? Click HERE for tools and tips to help you get started and maximize your impact.

As the Food Bank prepares for summer hunger programs, your efforts are more important than ever. You will also earn great summer-ready incentives along the way.

Incentives are cumulative, so you will receive each item at packet pick-up as you reach each level.

Raise $50: Beach towel band
