January 25th - February 28th, 2009

Thank You!

Thank you to everyone who participated in this year's Check Out Hunger program! Your donations of $2, $3 or $5 set a new Check Out Hunger record of over $721,000!

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 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 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 2008, Foodlink supported agencies provided over 5 million emergency meals to our neighbors in need.
