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 1^st, 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 17^th 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 1^st and April 30^th, 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 1^st and April 30^th. 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 1^st and April 30^th will count towards the Feinstein Challenge.
