Can you spare $5 this holiday season?
(2 cups of coffee? A fast food meal? Half a movie ticket?)
The ACCFB serves 40,000 people every week. 14,000 of those people are kids.
The Bay Area Buzz Report is proud to announce our partnerships with OaklandSeen, The Nikki Thomas Network, First Fridays, VIPLineup and Facebook Friends Fighting Hunger this holiday season in support
of the Alameda County Community Food Bank's (ACCFB) efforts to alleviate hunger in our community.
We're not trying to break your bank. All we ask is that you make a $5 donation to help feed a local family during the holidays. Emergency food assistance is provided to Alameda County residents in need, including low-income and working poor adults, children, the elderly, people with disabilities, abuse survivors, people living with AIDS, and the homeless. 100% of your donation goes to the food bank.
No amount is too small...$1 $5 $10. We need every dime. Your contribution will be multiplied seven-fold as the potent purchasing power of ACCFB stretches every $1 in donations into $7 worth of distributed food!
Help us help others, and reach our team goals of $1,000 each, worth $7,000 of distributed food!
Can you spare 3 minutes to spare $5 to help feed a family? Donate here today, before you forget >
WHAT IS the Alameda County Community Food Bank?
Mission
To alleviate hunger by providing nutritious food and nutrition
education to people in need, educating the public, and promoting public
policies that address hunger and its root causes.
Background
The Alameda County Community Food Bank has been in business since
1985 … with a vision toward a day when we can go out of business. As
Alameda County's central clearinghouse for donated food, the Food Bank
will distribute 18.2 million pounds of food in 2009 – including 7.6
million pounds of farm-fresh produce. Since moving into our permanent
facility by the Oakland Airport in 2005, the Food Bank has ramped up
distribution of fresh fruits and vegetables by a factor of 633%.
What We Do
Through a network of 275 strategically placed member agencies – food
pantries, soup kitchens, child-care centers, senior centers,
after-school programs and other community-based organizations – the
Food Bank distributes enough food for 300,000 meals weekly.
