SO WHAT CAN YOU DO TO
HELP?
ACCESS donates food to people who are hungry here in the rogue valley. For just $3 a
month you can feed a family of 4 for almost a week.
Problem:But… only 20% of
people in the rogue valley are donating
That’s only 17 cents a day!! That’s less than the cost of a postage stamp!
Every year, just from access the donate
over 100,000 pounds of food.
More than 200 hundred people
have died by now.
You can save them today.
Ask your parents if you can donate
food or volunteer at a local food kitchen.
With your help
We can make
POVERTY HISTORY!!
