ABOUT THE ORGANIZATION
INTERFAITH FOOD MINISTRY OF NEVADA COUNTY
Interfaith Food Ministry works to reduce food insecurity in Western Nevada County. We feed the hungry, helping to sustain good health and human dignity.
IFM distributes over 100,000 bags of food yearly to local families experiencing hardship. Traditionally, IFM provides holiday groceries to over 1,000 families (750 children and 2,200 adults each holiday). Approximately $43,000 is needed to purchase turkeys (for families of 3 or more) whole chickens (for families of 1 or 2), yams, onions, fresh vegetables, canned green beans, margarine, gravy and stuffing. In addition, we provide about 75 small canned hams to our homeless clients each holiday. For planning purposes we buy for 1,250 families to insure we have enough food. 100% of proceeds from the Hunger Run will go to IFM’s Holiday Food Program.

How do I join a team on this campaign?
While registering for the campaign, select the team you'd like to join or create a new team and invite others to #GetFitGiveBack with you. If you want to join a team (or create your team) after registration, login to the campaign site and you would find a link to edit "My Team" in the menu under your profile in the header.
I am an international donor (non-US), what are my donation charges and tax-deductibility?
All donations are made in US dollars, so the donations may be levied an exchange rate fee via your bank. Donors will want to connect with their bank to determine exactly what that fee may be. Additionally, international donors will need to reach out to a tax professional to discuss if and how tax deductibility will apply to their donation.
Who can sponsor my fundraising efforts?
The short answer is - everyone. The fundraising research shows that the number one reason for people not donating is that they weren't asked to.
That said, there are things you can do to attract people to sponsor you. Adding a picture to your fundraising page, telling potential donors why this cause is so personal to you, sharing your fundraising page on social media, email, and chat groups.
Last, if your employer has a gift matching program, check with the human resources department to support your favorite cause as well.
Who can I contact if I need help?
You can contact us any time if you need help. We love hearing from our users so please don't hesitate to write to us about issues, suggestions, or to just say hi. You can also contact the non-profit administrator directly if you would like.
How do I change or switch my team?
