The help of food banks
Small local food banks that network with Feeding America will benefit their patrons dramatically. Consider taking $2 to the grocery store to buy canned goods for a local food collection. Won’t buy you much, right? However, with Feeding America, that $2 can provide dinner for someone in need for two whole weeks!
A full 97 percent of all funds received go directly to support hunger relief. That means they only use 3 percent to cover executive expenses. Now that’s an efficient business operation. You can go onto the Feeding America website and donate $25, which will help feed a family of four for two weeks. Or, even better, you can encourage your local food banks to network with Feeding America to help in the global effort to provide hunger relief.
But this still isn't clear..local food banks are efficient..but is Feeding America???
and Money Blog is not really a reliable source me thinks..
