Sustainer Growth Accelerator

From Emergency Relief to Lasting Food Security—Fast!  

Your community’s needs don’t end with a single gift. Sustaining donors provide food banks, regional hunger relief partners, and national organizations with the dependable monthly support that keeps families nourished all year long. 

Discover What's Possible in 90 Days

The Endless Cycle:
Unpredictable Giving = Unstable Support

When demand surges, whether from seasonal need, natural disasters, or inflation, food insecurity organizations can’t afford unpredictable revenue. Yet too often, donations arrive in deep spikes and valleys. 

Monthly giving changes that. Sustainers provide the steady, renewable lifeline that lets hunger relief organizations: 

✔️ Keep shelves stocked with healthy, reliable food 

✔️ Plan ahead for seasonal demand and emergencies

✔️ Negotiate better prices with vendors through bulk purchasing

✔️ Ensure families never have to wonder where their next meal will come from
