Donations… The MATSU Food Bank receives many donations of various kinds, everything from food, money, volunteer time and things in between. When you consider the difficult time that our community is experiencing right now, it is truly amazing that people continue to come together to help each other.
People in our community come to us donating food almost daily. Businesses donate food they have collected on behalf of MATSU Food Bank Drives. There are monetary donations, which affords us the ability to keep our doors open, so that we may serve our community. Volunteers donate their time to help us keep the shelves stocked, assist families to “shop” at our pantry and help keep the warehouse and pantry organized. There are so many ways you can “Donate” to the MATSU Food Bank.
We have several programs we help with from the Christmas Friendship Dinner, Thanksgiving Blessing, Senior Boxes and coming up, our summer kids feeding program, Food 4 Kids, in May. All require donations of time and money.
Donating is easy, like donating while you shop at Fred Meyers, on Amazon, at Safeway and when you file for your PFDs - Pick.Click.Give. Visit our web page for details how to donate while you shop. Your generosity goes a long to help those who are struggling and hungry. Food insecurity is a real issue for many individuals and families in our community and together we can help fight this problem.
