Linn Benton Food Share
Sponsorship
Opportunity
Linn
Benton Food Share is currently seeking sponsorships for the Fresh
Alliance/Food Rescue program. Every month over 20,000 pounds of
high-quality, nutritious food is provided to food pantries and soup
kitchens. Donations include dairy products, fresh produce, meat and
deli products. If not for this program, the food would simply be
thrown away. LBFS operates a refrigerated vehicle and driver to pick
up donations from Ray’s Market in North Albany as well as Fred Meyer and
Albertsons locations in
Albany
and
Corvallis
. Due to the nature of the food, however, food safety regulations
require strict temperature controls and added training for volunteers and
staff. Coupled with fuel prices, the continued operation of this
program needs support. Sponsors would receive recognition in all
LBFS materials as well as decal signs on the LBFS Fresh Alliance vehicle
and at donation sites. Sponsorships for business start at $6,000 per
year. In this time of high demand for emergency food, LBFS must
capture as much food as possible to address the needs of the communities
served.
Donations
to LBFS are tax deductible.
