Notes
Community food/fund drives
Many businesses, schools, churches and organizations host food/fund drives throughout the year to help feed those who are hungry in their local communities. A food/fund drive gives customers, friends, family, employees and the community an opportunity to make an difference in the fight to end hunger. It takes an average of 1.25 pounds of food to provide a meal. A $1 donation enables us to provide 7 meals. To request information about a food/fund drive, contact Tanya Payne at tanyap@shfbmadison.org or call 608-223-9121, extension 114. We kindly request that you give us at least a week's notice or more if you plan on running a food/fund drive.
