COVID-19 Give Back: Food Bank of the Rockies Virtual Food Drive
Key Takeaways
- Community Response to COVID-19: American Financing has partnered with the Food Bank of the Rockies to launch a virtual food drive, addressing the unprecedented demand for emergency food assistance in Colorado.
- $100,000 Matching Pledge: To maximize community impact, American Financing has contributed an initial $100,000 and will match 100% of public donations up to an additional $100,000, aiming for a total relief fund of $300,000.
- High-Impact Giving Metrics: Monetary donations stretch further than physical food drives due to wholesale bulk purchasing power, where a contribution of just $1 provides 4 meals to families in need.
- How to Get Involved: Employees, customers, and community members are invited to participate in this virtual food drive to support local hunger relief efforts and help vulnerable neighbors recover from pandemic-related hardships.
COVID-19 has left all of us quickly adapting to unexpected change. While some of us are experiencing more challenges than others, there have been many uplifting moments — most coming from neighbors helping neighbors. Those stories are beacons of hope; we’re going to get through this, together.
Our neighbors and non-profits need us
As countless businesses have been forced to close their doors in response to COVID-19, many people have needed to access community services, specifically emergency food networks, for the first time.
