Lacey Food Bank Program
"A generous heart, kind speech, and a life of service and compassion are the things which renew humanity" 
Buddha
 
The Esteemed Sponsor Program
It is here that we honor our stalwart supporters - those who have kept the food bank glued together with their committment to provide us with a stable source of income. Take a look back to 2002, and see how we've grown and who is still with us now.

In 2001, the food bank's cupboards were scantily stocked and much of that was out dated cans and packages. We had less than $1,000 in the bank. Donations for the past year had totaled only $2,500, with CAFFREY's Restaurant donating $1,500 of the that. One other sponsor, local attorney Art Stein, was also a steady contributor but despite their support, it became apparent that we'd have to discontinue the food bank program.

If we only had more sponsors, we reasoned, maybe we could keep the program going. Because despite our meager and often inadequate offerings, the needy came.

Many of them were the elderly, who might have to eat tea and toast for dinner that last week if we were not there for them. Or parents unable to offer milk & cereal, peanut butter & jelly or protein at dinner time to their children.

So we devised the "Esteemed Sponsor" program and via letters and fliers invited participation from those in the community who would share their resources with those less fortunate.

Each sponsor commits to supporting one family for one year by contributing $20 monthly, or $240 per family. This enables us to buy a $10. food certificate to ShopRite and $10 worth of supplemental food not normally collected in food drives.

The esteemed sponsors have increased from 13 in 2002, to 28 in 2003, 39 in 2004, 47 in 2005  49 in 2006 ,70 in 2007 , 82 in 2008, 99 in 2009, 100 in 2010, and 103 in 2011.  And we need each and every  one of you because also in 2012, the list of clients rose to 214 families, an all time high.
 
The goal is to enlist one sponsor for each family, but some sponsor several families,  so we are almost 3\4 of the way there.  Let's hope the committment to this program remains steadfast and grows.
 
Many sponsors renew their commitment every month as part of our favorite group "The Monthlies". You can send a check each month or if you have an online bill paying arrangement with your bank, you can arrange to have it automatically done for you.
 
Four  esteemed sponsors took advantage of their employer's matching funds for charity programs to double their gifts. Check it out with your employer, even if you are retired and request a form to fill out so that our contribution will be matched by them. CNA Foundation,  Ocean First, Home Depot and Mobile Exxon Corp are four  employers who match their employees and retirees donations. You may also donate via regular payroll deductions to the United Way, designating the Lacey Food Bank as the recipient.
Help us reach our goal, you'll feel so good
about yourself.
