How Check Out Hunger works:
Every $2 = $25 worth of food!
Shoppers at select local retailers ask the cashier to scan a coupon worth $2, $3, or $5. Donations can also be made online on the Check Out Hunger Virtual Food Drive. Every $2 dollar donation received enables Foodlink Food Bank to acquire and distribute $25 worth of food throughout our local network of over 550 human service organizations in a 10 county area.
What Foodlink Does:
Foodlink Food Bank empowers at-risk communities by providing food, nutrition, education, and resources in Central and Western New York. Foodlink rescues food that otherwise would be wasted and redistributes it to a network of over 550 human service providers especially soup kitchens, emergency shelters and food pantries. Our 10 county area includes: Allegany, Genesee, Livingston, Monroe, Ontario, Orleans, Seneca, Wayne, Wyoming, and Yates. Click Here for a list of Foodlink Agencies.
In 2007, Foodlink supported agencies provided 4.5 million emergency meals to our neighbors in need.
