As a food pantry and emergency resource center, we know how important it is to have a steady stream of funding to provide essential services to those in need. That’s why we have chosen to fundraise through monthly online auctions. By conducting online auctions, we are able to tap into a new source of funding that can help us stabilize our funding and plan for future expenses.

Our online auctions provide a fun and engaging way for the community to get involved in our mission. We offer unique items and experiences that are not available through other fundraising channels, which generates excitement and interest from potential supporters.

The 31st Annual Letter Carriers’ Association – Stamp Out Hunger^® Food Drive 

Saturday, May 13, 2023

How does it work? 

To donate, just place a bag, box or can of non-perishable food next to your mailbox before your letter carrier delivers mail on the second Saturday in May. The carrier will do the rest. The food is sorted and delivered to an area food bank or pantry (Outreach East), where it is available for needy families.

Are food drive donations tax-deductible?

All donations to the Letter Carriers’ Stamp Out Hunger^® Food Drive are tax-deductible, depending on how you, file because all of the food collected on Food Drive Day is given directly to non-profit charity food agencies in the community the food was collected. Though the National Association of Letter Carriers plans the Food Drive’s logistics and letter carriers provide the transportation for each donor’s generous donation, the National Association of Letter carriers is not the agency that gets listed on tax forms for claiming deductions. There are more than 10,000 food agencies throughout the country that receive these donations  The Davison Post office will be giving your donations to us here at Outreach East so you would list us as the charity 501C3. 

National Stamp Out Hunger Food Drive Day is observed on the second Saturday of May and takes place on May 13. It is the largest food drive in the country and takes place in more than 10,000 cities and towns. One in eight Americans face hunger every day and we want to remind everyone that they can help with this wonderful initiative. The Stamp Out Hunger Donor Drive aims to feed the hungry in the U.S., and as always, with your help, we can and we will.

Donate your gently worn, used and new shoes today!

And the best part is it’s FREE to participate. That’s right, everyone has an old or slightly used pair of shoes they could donate , So it does not cost anything to help.

Our goal is to collect 2500 pairs of shoes by March 15, 2023.

Help us raise funds just by donating gently worn, used and new shoes! Clean out those closets, Be sure to ask, friends, family, neighbors and co-workers to donate too! Collected shoes not only help support us, but they will be reused and given a second life by those in need through #microenterprise. It’s a WIN-WIN!

According to a report from the Environmental Protection Agency, in 2015:

• Textiles, including shoes and clothing, represented 16.03M tons and 65.7% of content in landfills.
• In the U.S., each individual produces 4.48 pounds of daily waste, which includes shoes that are thrown away.
  Other realities:
• Most people do not know that shoes and clothing can be repurposed.
• 85% of consumer textiles end up in landfills, which is extremely harmful to the environment.
• Consumers are the primary reason for textiles ending up in landfills.
• Approximately 50 percent of collected shoes and clothing are re-used around the world.
• 70 percent of the global population uses repurposed shoes and clothing.

By you helping us collect shoes you are:

• Raising funds to help others in our community
• Rescuing all these shoes from going into land fills
• Providing help by working with over 4,000 micros-entrepreneurs and families worldwide
• The shoes are re-purposed and get a new lease on life.

Update- 03/17/2023 TOGETHER WE DID IT !!!!! THANK YOU EVERYONE !!!!

We hit the Goal !!

Outreach East is proud to announce a partnership with Meijer to provide much-needed relief to local families facing food insecurity through the retailer’s customer-driven hunger relief program, Simply Give.

With more than 34 million Americans considered food insecure nationwide, food remains a basic need that many people continue to struggle to put on their tables. Meijer is committed to addressing hunger relief at the local level through its Simply Give program, which replenishes the shelves of hundreds of local food pantries throughout the Midwest each year. The Simply Give program has been feeding hungry families in the communities Meijer serves since November 2008, thanks to the continued support and generosity of Meijer customers, team members and food pantry partners.

Learn more about how Meijer is partnering with customers to support hunger relief:

SUPPORTING LOCAL FOOD PANTRIES

• Current economic conditions are placing increased pressures on low-income families, food insecurity is increasing rapidly, making programs like Simply Give even more important for local food pantries.
• Customers are encouraged to purchase $10 Simply Give donation cards, which are converted into Meijer food-only gift cards and given to the food pantry selected by the individual store.
• The Simply Give program allows food pantries the opportunity to choose the grocery items best suited for the families they serve, as well as baby food, formula, diapers and wipes.
• Each of the more than 260 Meijer stores across the Midwest partner with multiple local food pantries, keeping the money generated within the community.
• Hunger relief is a corporate philanthropic focus at Meijer, in addition to diversity & inclusion, environmental and local giving.

This year in March there will be TWO double match days March 4th and March 25 where if you donate $10.00 Meijer will double match that and make it $30.00 in food cards for us! A $50.00 donation becomes $150.00 and so on. Save these dates! and triple your donation.

---

In light of increased need resulting from COVID-19, Meijer donated more than $7.6 million to Simply Give food pantry partners in 2020 and made an additional $1 million gift in March. Since the program began in November 2008, more than $69 million has been generated for food pantries in the Midwest to distribute to our neighbors in need.

So next time you are in the Meijer in Davison, please pick up a Simply Give Card and take it to the cashier. You really can make a difference.
