PROJECT S.H.A.R.E.
Feinstein Foundation Match of Food and Funds Any monetary donation given during the months of March and April to Project S.H.A.R.E. will receive a match from the Feinstein Foundation. For the past nine years, Alan Shawn Feinstein has been giving away one million dollars each year to anti-hunger agencies like Project S.H.A.R.E. throughout the country. This year he’s doing it again! Each food item donated to S.H.A.R.E. will be valued at $1 by the Foundation and will also be a part of the match. Project S.H.A.R.E. has been the beneficiary of these efforts for nine years. In 2007 they received $1385 in matching funds. Help them do better in 2008. Visit www.feinsteinfoundation.org.
