According to recent Public tax forms of other large charitable food banks, there is a standard set of expenses that incur while helping millions of people. Operational expenses are a given, these expenses are simply going to exist. The goal of every organization is incorporating effectiveness with efficiency; allowing the donor dollar to go directly to the cause as much as operationally possible.

And this is how we plan to do it…

Starting from Sacramento County where my family currently resides, we will be spreading our mission to all who need us. As our mission spreads we will manage databases of registries per county. With a volunteer per county we can easily allocate food purchases online to any registered family in the Nation. If there is a Grocery Store with delivery available, there is the potential to serve a family. Unlike many organizations who are volunteer intensive, we comparatively need very few to manage. Funding to operate is virtually nonexistent. As noted we have our webpage, and the State registry to operate as a nonprofit which is funded by the Feed-A-Family Board of Directors.

This is Feed-A-Family’s vision… If you would like to be a part of this vision please contact us. If you have recommendations or suggestions that may help us in attaining our goal, please contact us. We are looking to make a change, attempting to keep up with the electronic age while doing so efficiently and effectively
