Become a "Hunger Hero"

through Monthly Donations

As a "Hunger Hero," you can feel good that your commitment to our organization is helping us provide a reliable source of food to local students struggling with food insecurity.

One of the easiest ways to support Food For Neighbors is through monthly donations. Your recurring donation is so important because it allows us to resupply pantries before their shelves are empty. Students know they can count on us for food they need every weekend. Monthly donations also allow us to budget for future expansion into new schools, where we can reach more students that need our support.

Thanks to our committed Hunger Heroes, our schools and students know they can depend on Food For Neighbors to provide what they need when they need it.

How do you become a Hunger Hero? When you make your donation from any donation link on our website, remember to check the "monthly donation" box. Your donation will automatically be processed through PayPal each month until you cancel it. It’s that easy! (And your monthly donation is tax-deductible, too.)
