Thank You Donors for Making our Work Possible
America is a generous country: in 2008, charitable giving in the United States reached 307 billion. It is with the generous support of our individual and corporate donors that God’s Pantry Food Bank, a member Feeding America, is able to serve over 159,000 people annually in central and eastern Kentucky.
Peoples’ biggest misconception is that their donation won’t go very far. They often think that a dollar won’t make a difference, but nothing could be further from the truth. For every dollar donated, God’s Pantry Food Bank can provide 4.5 meals to families in need. In 2009, we distributed over 17.1 million pounds of food to children, families, seniors in need of emergency food assistance. Each year, the Feeding America network of food banks distributes more than 2 billion pounds of food and grocery products to support feeding programs at approximately 63,000 local charitable agencies, including food pantries, soup kitchens, emergency shelters, after-school programs and Kids Cafes.
Every dollar, every can of food, is one more step towards ending hunger in our community. God’s Pantry Food Bank would like to offer a heartfelt thank you to all of those whose donations make our work possible every single day. Together, we can provide hope to hungry Americans.
