March and April bring lots of excitement—the start of spring,
St. Patrick’s Day, the Easter Bunny…and, around HSP, the Feinstein Challenge! In
the $1 Million Giveaway to Fight Hunger, the Feinstein Foundation divides up
and distributes $1 million among non-profit organizations working to end hunger
in their area. The amount received from the Feinstein Foundation is directly
related to how much money and food the organizations themselves raise from
March 1st-April 30th. With the Feinstein Challenge in
mind, March and April would be great months to run a food drive or giving campaign.
Last year, thanks to our supporters, HSP raised thousands of dollars worth of
food and money during the Feinstein Challenge for our programs that help hungry
senior citizens and children. This year, we hope to raise even more support
than we did last year!
The Feinstein Foundation was founded in 1991 by Alan Shawn
Feinstein, who retired from a successful career as a financial writer and adviser to found an organization dedicated to giving. The $1 Million Giveaway
has raised $1.25 billion since its inception in 1997, making it the most
successful grassroots effort ever to fight hunger. Please start thinking about
contributing to HSP for the Feinstein Challenge! More details will be posted on
the blog as March 1st nears, including fundraiser ideas.
