"We were shocked to read the results of the REFB's Hunger Study. The most startling fact is that that the median household income of food recipients is $930 a month. As a couple who is able to financially donate on a monthly basis, we challenge others who are able to do so to join the Full Plate Partner monthly giving program. For every $1 donated, the food bank is able to make it into $4 through excellent management."

Why would you consider becoming a Full Plate Partner?
Because you can help us to plan for the year ahead, budgeting and allocating resources to ensure we have enough food to feed 78,000 people every month; and because it can save you time - your gift is automatically deducted from your checking account or credit card and goes to work immediately - an annual statement is sent to you for tax purposes; and because your gift goes further - more of your gift goes to feed the hungry because our administrative costs are lower with monthly giving; and because you will receive special news mailings and newsletters (none of our regular appeal mailings), and be recognized in our annual report; and finally because you are entitled to a private tour of the food bank to view the work your gift makes possible.Join the fight to end hunger, become a Full Plate Partner!
