Join the Feinstein Challenge

For the fifteenth year, Alan Shawn Feinstein, a Rhode Island philanthropist, is giving away $1 million to anti-hunger agencies throughout the country. My Sister's Pantry has been a recipient of some of this money for the last several years. You can help us receive funds again this year.

This is how it's done. During the months of March and April, funds or food you donate to us in in conjuction with this campaign are reported to the Feinstein Foundation. The $1 million will be divided proportionally among agencies like ours that are participating in the challenge. The more donations we report, the larger the portion we receive.

So if you are part of a group that would like to do a food drive, consider doing it in March or April. The value of all food items will be calculated at $1.00 each or $1.00 per pound. Cash donations are reported at actual value.

Mr. Feinstein believes "all that will matter to us someday is what we did while we were here to help those who needed us."

Cash donations can be made by sending your check to My Sisters Pantry at 621 Tacoma Avenue South, Tacoma, WA 98402, or by using the Donate button on this page. If you are doing a food drive, contact Martha Curwen at (253) 627-1186 to arrange for delivery or pick-up.
