Edmond Mobile Meals Participates in Feinstein Foundation $1 Million Challenge

Since 1998, Mr. Alan Shawn Feinstein, of Cranston RI, has been giving away $1 million a year to agencies across the United States that fight hunger.  The more donations Edmond Mobile Meals receives from March 1 to April 30, the more of Feinsten’s challenge money we will receive.

The Feinstein million dollars will be divided proportionately among all agencies receiving money toward this challenge.  If you would like to contribute towards this challenge, please write “$1 Million Challenge” on your check or select “Feinstein Foundation $1 million Challenge” from the drop down box if you’re giving online.

Feinstein’s 14 past $1 million challenges to fight hunger have raised more than $1.25 billion for nonprofit agencies that help the hungry.  Donors’ participation in this two-month campaign will make them partners in what Feinstein calls “the most successful ongoing effort ever to fight hunger.”  A full report of the results of the 2012 challenge will be posted at feinsteinfoundation.org in July.

Thank you for your help!
