Other Donation Opportunities

Gift BasketsColor CornDoveSledHandsGift Alternative
The Food Bank of the Hudson Valley’s Gift Alternative program offers people an opportunity to feed their hungry neighbors by making a donation to the Food Bank in honor of family, friends, and business associates.

Contributions to this program help the Food Bank provide nutritious food all year long to food pantries and other charitable agencies feeding hungry people in 23 counties of northeastern New York.

For a donation of $5.00 or more per gift, the Food Bank will provide a card acknowledging that a financial gift to feed the hungry has been made in the name of the recipient. The Food Bank offers a memorial card, an “In Honor of” card for birthdays, anniversaries, etc., and five specially designed holiday cards.

The holiday cards contain the following message, except the Gift Basket card, which is blank: “In recognition of your generous spirit and in keeping with the true meaning of the holiday season, a financial gift to feed the hungry has been donated to the Food Bank of the Hudson Valley.“

For more information about ordering Gift Alternative cards, please call Kelly Galeas at 845-534-5344 or send us a message via our Contact Form.


Adopt-a-Program
To assist our member programs with their important work of feeding those in need, the Food Bank developed a fundraising effort called Adopt-a-Program, or AAP. AAP establishes lines of credit for member agencies to offset their shared maintenance contributions and the costs of purchased food. These credits enable programs to secure more food for their clients. 100% of AAP contributions go on account for member agencies. AAP also allows the Food Bank to extend its reach throughout a 6-county service area, and allows donors to keep their funds in the local community.

The Food Bank solicits AAP donations from churches, community groups, companies, and individuals. Donors may select specific agencies to support or allow the Food Bank to select agencies most in need. Adopt-a-Program helps agencies stretch their food buying power, and enables donors to address local needs in an efficient and effective manner.

For more information about Adopt-a-Program, please call Elizabeth Harris at 845-534-5344 or send us a message via our Contact Form.
