The 8th Annual DelCor .org Food Drive for the Capital Area Food Bank is being extended by one week. In response to increased demand, organizations will continue collecting food and cash donations for the Metro DC agency through April 20.
Donations to CAFB decline sharply each spring and wane through the summer.
On the agency's blog, CAFB Senior Director of Marketing and Public Relations Kasandra Gunter Robinson reports, "This seems to be a seasonal phenomenon where donations soar from the fall months through the winter, but decline from spring into summer. Hunger takes no vacation, so we need your help."
To answer that call, you can
donate at one of the .org Food Drive participating organizations. Our goal is to collect 25,000 pounds of food to help the food bank address the 25 percent increase in need over the past four years. Or you can
make a gift directly to CAFB.
