Ways to Give
Each and every day we hear the stories. From the mom of a child recently diagnosed with celiac disease to the person managing diabetes trying to make ends meet. For each of them, food is medicine - their prescription.
People with a diet-treated illness often see their grocery bills double. Everyday food items, like bread and milk, are now much more expensive. Many are left to make hard decisions - buy groceries or pay the electric bill. Or worse yet, eat food that they know may send them to the hospital.
This is where Food Equality Initiative comes in. Helping those at the intersection of food insecurity and a diet-related chronic diseases and conditions. Through our direct service and education programs, we help people get the nourishing foods they need.
We cannot do it without you.

How can I support the work of FEI?
-
A one-time donation to Food Equality Initiative does not require a special occasion or time of year. There are people requesting our direct food services each and everyday, all-year-long.

Many employers in the U.S. match dollar-for-dollar the charitable gifts their employees make – some may even double or triple match an employee's donation. These programs are a wonderful way to maximize your ability to contribute to FEI. Your $100 contribution can easily turn into a $200 or even $300 gift for the charity of your choice, with a match from your company!
Please check with your employer to see if they match!
