Welcome to my fundraising page! Thank you for helping me achieve my goal of raising $1,500 for the Greater Chicago Food Depository. Your donation will help feed the 812,000 men, women and children served by the Food Depository each year. Every $1 you donate will help provide 3 meals!
I chose the Food Depository to be my charity for several reasons:
1) Food is fundamental. There are a lot of important problems in the world but it's hard to get much done when you're hungry.
2) They go way past the classic canned-goods collection and are expanding their ability to get more nutritious, fresh food to people.
3) Their ultimate goal -- you can read it on their website -- is to put themselves out of business by working with partner programs and organizations to eliminate the root causes of hunger
The Food Depository and I really appreciate your support. Because of you, someone will eat today!
