Over the past two years, our community has risen to meet each challenge. Together with our caring community, we have helped provide support for our neighbors facing hunger in times of crisis and throughout the year. In fact, with help from donors like you we’ve been leading the fight against hunger for 40 years.
The past 40 years have proven the importance of coming together to provide sustained relief for those in need. We have also been shown, time and time again, just how generous our caring community can be when they know a neighbor needs a helping hand.
For the last two years we have distributed more than 64 million pounds of food per year to meet the unprecedented demand. The need in our community is still extremely high. The rising rate of inflation means rising prices here in Central Texas. And for some of our neighbors that can mean facing impossible choices.
The increase in living expenses can strain an already tight budget to the point of breaking, forcing many to make painful sacrifices that prevent them from accessing healthy, nutritious food. In fact, about 80% of those we serve have had to choose between paying for food and paying for medicine or medical care in the past year—and two-thirds had to choose between food and housing.
Today, you can help. Each year Amplify Austin makes it easy for our community to support each other. This 24-hour day of giving is crucial in helping the Food Bank restock for the spring months.
When you make your most generous gift today, your impact is amplified to provide more meals! From today through 6:00 p.m. on March 3, generous sponsors will maximize your investment in the health of our community by matching your Amplify Austin donations.
Your donation helps us continue to meet the increased demand for our services, in 2022 and beyond.
