“They don’t realize that they may be going to church with someone who’s receiving assistance from us,” said Food Bank CEO Mike Manning. “It’s really important that we take care of people because that’s our neighbor.”
This year, Manning said all donations will be matched up to $75,000 by the Price LeBlanc family.
“People raising awareness and trying to help raise more funds by putting up their own money and issuing a challenge to others, it really tends to significantly increase the fundraising we can generate and make a big difference in our ability to feed the community,” Manning said.
The Food Bank is the main hub for smaller agencies across the seven parishes it serves. Manning said their success directly impacts others — and every dollar makes a difference.
“One dollar is the equivalent of three meals,” he said. “We can get more food with a dollar than you can if you buy something at the grocery store because of some opportunities we have for wholesale purchases or national food donations.”
Manning added that people can help in three ways: hosting a food drive, donating food or money, or volunteering.
