Feeding America

Before I donated to this charity, my mail consisted of some boring bills and a few alumni magazines. AFTER donating to this charity, and requesting that my information remain anonymous, my physical mailbox BLEW UP. if you would like to have your information sold and sold again, donate here. If a commitment for a monthly donation is not enough for you, if you would prefer the mindless murder of trees, countless solicitations from related organizations who will send you nonsense such as pennies, stamps, notepads, labels, and guilt-​ridden checks, ALL with sad child faces embossed on the front, THIS IS DEFINITELY THE CHARITY FOR YOU.
I’ve called ALL the numbers, and they won’t stop. Thanks for forcing me to move multiple times, you, F.A.-holes (and by that I totally mean Feeding American holes).

Beware of this charity, they fraudulently acquired access to my debit card online and proceeded to drain one of my accounts of hundreds of dollars with several transactions, will be filing a police report, I do not know what these people are upto, but BEWARE! BEWARE! BEWARE!

1^st – this charity sent me many stupidly political emails promoting Occupy Wallstreet and fringe groups.
2^nd – Within a week of donating to this charity, my mailbox was flooded – FLOODED – with other charities requesting donations. Most of the charities were sketchy, at best, including one which provided art supplies to veterans and gave only 50% to their cause. I wish I could have my 50 bucks back. Feeding America and their buddy charities have killed more trees in 6 months than I could ever replace. Give to your local food bank. Avoid these political hacks.
AVOID AVOID AVOID.

Five decades ago, a retired businessman and soup kitchen volunteer by the name of John Van Hengel had a surplus of food and no idea what to do with it until a woman who regularly frequented the soup kitchen gave him a suggestion: warehouse all food that is not needed by supermarkets, farms, and gardens so that people could use it when need arises. Thus, in 1967, the country’s first food bank was born as St. Mary’s Food Bank Alliance.
Now known as Feeding America after a number of incarnations, you will be hard-​pressed to find a county in the 50 states that the organization does not serve in some way. FA currently helps over 50,000 charities and over 90,000 hunger-​relief programs in the United States. They’ve even dovetailed into Puerto Rico.
FA not only directly helps the hungry through the numerous pantries they operate. They also take the fight to end American hunger to Washington and to the public sphere through research, education, testimony, disquisition, and advocacy.
There’s no reason for our brothers and sisters anywhere on the planet to go hungry, let alone in the United States. Famine exists not because of scarcity but because of maldistribution. FA’s objective is to disperse our ample food supply more equitably so that no one has to do without and that perfectly edible food is wasted no longer.
Just $ 1 will provide 8 meals. Send Feeding America a George or two today.

Victor G above is obviously sad about another segment of his life and he’s projecting it on these people. This organization rocks and has a stellar rating from charitable watchdog groups and the BBB. And to the poster above, they are indeed talking to Wall Street and the oil companies already. How have you helped?

Feeding America is the nation’s leading domestic hunger-​relief charity. According to their website, their mission is to” feed America’s hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger.”
Each year, the Feeding America network provides food to more than 37 million low-​income people facing hunger in the United States, including 14 million children and nearly 3 million seniors. They have a network of more than 200 food banks serving all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico.

In other words, Feeding America really gets the food out to the people most in need.
Hunger is a reality for many American families. I know that it may be hard to believe, but even in our own backyards, there are people in every community who run the risk of going hungry. «Food insecurity» is the term used when food may not be available for one meal, several meals, or even longer. I joined Feed America’s Hunger Action Network-​which is an online community dedicated to making a difference in the fight against hunger.
The Hunger Action Network’s goal is to support policies and advocate to help solve hunger and raise public awareness about the issue.
I am proud that my own apartment complex is doing a Feed America Canned Food Drive in the month of November, where they are collecting items to donate to the needy for the holidays. If you are thinking of contributing, the items most in need are Peanut Butter, Jelly, Canned Vegetables, Canned Fruit, Canned Beans, Boxed Pasta, Canned Meats, Chili, and Bagged Rice. Note: please no perishables or home canned food items. Feeding America is a prime example of an excellent organization making a difference-​5 Unilocal STARS all the way!

I guess you don’t get it. no donations means no.
