The Community FoodBank of New Jersey Is Stepping Up To The Challenge!
Like every food bank across the country, CFBNJ, a member of the Feeding America network, is working harder every day to assist inidividuals and their families right here in NJ in these tough economic times. It’s a daily challenge, and we are always looking for new ways to meet it head on.
That’s why today we’re so excited to announce our involvment in the Feeding America Pound for Pound Challenge! Now in its second year, this proven fundraising program has partnered with NBC’s The Biggest Loser and General Mills to encourage Americans to “Lose Nationally, Feed Locally”. And we need your support to make our involvement a success!
Participating is easy and your impact can be huge.
Simply sign up and pledge your weight loss goals at www.pfpchallenge.com. For every pound you pledge, General Mills and other partners will donate 14 cents to Feeding America – that’s enough to purchase one pound of food. In addition, you can quickly and easily gain encouragement for reaching your goal and pledges for CFBNJ through the program’s Friends & Family Online Fundraising program. One of our challenge champions, Biggest Loser finalist Amanda Arlauskas helped us kickoff efforts on February 18:
At the end of the Challenge, Feeding America distributes funds to local food banks. The more sign ups and pledges a food bank has from its area, the more funds it receives. So please help us by signing up now and encouraging others to sign up and/or pledge!
It’s a great opportunity for our supporters to do something good for themselves and do something good for our community. To learn more about the Pound For Pound Challenge, you can visit the national website at www.pfpchallenge.com or e-mail Lindsey Vogel, RD at lvogel@njfoodbank.org.
