Why Fundraise?

Can you imagine living on $820 a month? After paying rent and utilities, the average person who comes to a food bank is left with less than $8 a day to afford food and expenses.     

Many household simply go hungry in order to afford their basic needs.  

Last year:

• 100,000 people visited a food program
• 28%  were children
• 44% food bank clients went for an entire day without food
• The #1 reason people turned to a food bank for the first time was a job loss
