The impact of your gift before midnight Wednesday can be DOUBLED, up to $550,000, thanks to our generous match partners, Sheryl Sandberg and Tom Bernthal!

The U.S. produces 92 billion pounds of food that goes uneaten, never purchased or simply unpicked every year.

We're the country's largest food rescue organization with over 4 billion pounds rescued last year alone, working with food manufacturers, grocery stores, farmers and more to rescue even more food and connect our neighbors with the good, nutritious food they need to thrive.

 
Your gift can go 2X as far to help rescue food.
 

Every one of us can find a way to help. Arthur discovered Feeding San Diego's food rescue and volunteer program at just 14 years old, and he now volunteers there.

"It all began in 8th grade. I noticed a lot of my classmates didn't like the food. They just threw it away without realizing the huge consequences of this," he shared. At Feeding San Diego—a member of the Feeding America network—he's since taken on a volunteer position leading the food bank's Produce Pantry, where he's welcomed plenty of friends and classmates to join him in volunteering.

Will you help, too? Make a gift now while the impact of your donation can go twice as far to help move food and feed families, up to $550,000.

Your support as a Feeding America donor helped rescue over 4 billion pounds of food last year, including produce, protein and dairy products for your neighbors. Please rush a $25 gift while it can be matched to double your impact for families facing hunger before the deadline at midnight on Wednesday.

There is plenty of food for everyone—it takes all of us to move food to our neighbors who need it most.

Thank you,
