Give Monthly
Want to make a greater impact in the fight against hunger? Here’s your chance. Become a Feeding Hope Partner and leverage your support as a monthly donor. Every $1 you give provides 5 meals for hungry families!
For only $1 a day – the same as a cup of coffee or the morning newspaper – you can provide 150 meals a month for hungry children, men, women and seniors. That’s 1,800 meals in a year. And it’s just $30 a month.
Hunger is a year-round issue. That’s why our Feeding Hope Monthly Giving Program is so vital to everything the Great Plains Food Bank does. When you become a Feeding Hope Partner, you join a group of the most dedicated and compassionate supporters in the fight to end hunger and feed hope for our neighbors in need.
Reasons to become a Feeding Hope Partner:
Rewarding – You can feel good knowing your monthly gifts go to work immediately, making a difference in the lives of those impacted by hunger. The Feeding Hope Monthly Giving Program allows us to plan for the year ahead, budgeting and allocating resources to make sure our network always has a supply of food.
Efficiency – Your monthly commitment to end hunger helps us reduce our costs with less mailings and administrative processing, allowing us to use your gifts more effectively. Every $1 of your monthly gift will provide 5 meals through our network of local feeding programs.
Convenience – No checks to write, no stamps to buy. Your gifts can be made automatically through your bank accounts or credit card, or you can enroll online. You can also choose the amount of mail you receive from us.
Flexibility – You choose a donation level that works for you. Your monthly scheduled gift can be deducted from your bank accounts or charged to your credit card – balancing your annual giving throughout the year. And you can change or stop your gift at any time.
