Giving Up Tradition to Survive

By Susan Brockway.

As the president of the board of directors for a small food bank, I am losing a lot of sleep wondering where the money will come from.  Small food banks don't receive proceeds from national cause marketing campaigns for operating funds.  Most local donations  are down 20% and most services up 35-40%. 

What rabbit are we going to pull out of our hats to keep these critical operations up and running? 

Is  anyone else worrying.......I certainly hope so.

Green backs (dollars) from the garden! If your local food bank is a bit of a drive to deliver a few of your extra garden goods. Take your garden extras to work with a donation jar for the food bank. Collect the money and send a check! Be green and give green!
