Upton VFW's "Uniting to Combat Hunger" campaign accepts food donations and raises money to support the local food pantries of United Parish of Upton, St. Gabriel the Archangel Church, and Upton Town Center. Help us put an end to food insecurity!
I'm pleased to write that in addition to food insecurity this year, the grant has expanded to donations or purchase of items to be donated to homeless relief organizations.
The Uniting to Combat Hunger & Homelessness Grant (via VFW Foundation) is a matching grant of up to $1,500 available to VFW Posts and Auxiliaries for monetary, food, or other item donations to local food banks, pantries or homeless relief organizations in their communities. The VFW Foundation will provide a $1 match for every pound of food or dollar donated to food insecurity organizations. The VFW Foundation will provide a $1 match for every $1 spent purchasing qualified items to donate to a homeless shelter as well as $1 match for every $1 donated to a homeless relief organization.
