Giving Smart

In our struggling economy, most of us want to know how to stretch our household dollars as far as we can. We at Manna Café want to let you in on the secret of stretching your donated dollar as well. Food drives are crucial, and we’ll always welcome them because they give everyone a chance to contribute; whether a person gives one can or a buggy-full, they’re making a difference in a tangible way. But for those who are looking for the “smartest” way to help, the following illustration shows how the donated dollar can be stretched, as Kenny says, “until it screams.”

This first photo shows what you might purchase at the grocery store with the average donated dollar: one name-brand item.

However, when your dollar is donated directly to Manna Café, we use our resources (such as Second Harvest Food Bank) to purchase food at a reduced rate. On a “bad” day, when prices are high, we’re able to double your money by purchasing two cans versus one. But on a good day, we’re able to purchase four—with .20 left over to put toward fuel!

We are truly grateful for every single item that’s donated, and we distribute each one to a family in need. But we’d like to encourage you to give smart this year, and we thank you in advance for your generosity and sacrifice.
