The Feinstein Challenge is Underway!

March came in like a lion, with a few inches of snow and freezing temperatures. But that didn’t stop the Feinstein Challenge from beginning on March 1st, and for the eleventh year, HSP will be participating! The $1 Million Giveaway to Fight Hunger, sponsored by the Feinstein Foundation, is an annual event in its 17th year. It partners with organizations nation-wide fighting hunger in their communities, such as HSP, by splitting $1 million between those that participate. The organizations report to the foundation the monetary value of the donations they receive between March 1st and April 30th, and the Feinstein Foundation distributes the $1 million based on how much each organization raises.

The Feinstein Foundation was founded by Alan Shawn Feinstein, a retired successful businessman and currently full-time philanthropist. Mr. Feinstein has dedicated his time and money to putting an end to hunger worldwide. Since its inception, the Feinstein Giveaway has raised over $2 billion for the needy, and has the impressive achievement of being the most successful grassroots effort to fight hunger ever! We at HSP are excited to be a part of this groundbreaking campaign.

You, too, can be a part of the excitement! Help HSP by making a donation of food or money between March 1st and April 30th. Your donation will go directly to serving needy seniors and children. If your group or organization has wanted to do a food drive to support HSP, right now is the perfect time! The more money and food we collect from donors, the bigger portion of the $1 million we will receive. Remember that only items and money donated between March 1st and April 30th will count towards the Feinstein Challenge. For more information about how you can be involved, and for fundraising ideas for your organization, please give us a call at (630) 221-8340 or email us at hsp@humanitarianservice.org
