Meet the Match

Thanks to the generosity of long-time Food Bank supporter Robbin Steif, donations made up to $100,000 will be matched over the summer*.

Find Out if Your Company Matches Your Donation

Did you know that many companies choose to match their employee donations? Many companies match their employees’ donations as a great way to show them they also care about the causes they believe in while making double the impact in the community.
