Donate Today ! Its not too late

There are only a few days left and we need your help to meet our fund raising goals.


Top 5 reasons for not donating ... debunked.

5. I don't have much to give my $5, $10, or $25 donation won't make a difference.
Not true: We have very thrifty shoppers. We can turn $5 into 2 meals.

4. I meant to but its too late now.
Oh no no: We have limited storage and want to serve fresh and nutritious meals.
So we won't start shopping until late Friday 1/18. We will be buying fresh food Saturday,
Sunday, and even Monday morning. So its never too late.

3. I don't get paid until the end of the month.
That's Ok: We take credit cards. We also use credit cards so even after the event bills will be coming in. Really its never to late.

2. I'm coming to volunteer.
Thank you very much we need your sweat equity: Can you ask your friends, family and neighbors to help ?

1. I don't know what you are going to do with my money. I'm not trying to pay for expensive
vacations or private jets.
No Worries: 100% of the money raise will go to feeding the homeless. Really 100%. We
typically feed 500-800 people a year. This year has been especially bad for food banks See Cupboards Are Bare at Food Banks (Washington Post). No salaries! There are perks - fun and camaraderie in the kitchen, music and fellowship outside the library, and the good feeling that comes from continuing the King legacy. Oh and when you are in the kitchen you can almost always sneak a taste of IG's famous turkey.
