BEEF4HUNGER

What we do: We raise money by requesting donations, grants and sponsorships from individuals, foundations and companies. Additionally, we host fundraising events that require minimum cost, or the costs are fully sponsored. We then buy fresh beef from American Food Group (one of the country’s largest beef processors) or other major producers at or near production costs. We then consistently deliver and donate the fresh beef every month directly to food banks and hunger relief organizations for distribution to those in need. Currently we are donating beef to the Northern IL Food Bank, The Chicago Food Depository, Veterans Closet, Roberti Culinary Pathway, and a variety of other smaller hunger relief organizations. We are 100% volunteer-based organization which enables us to put every dollar raised directly toward feeding those in need. We are the only 501c3 in North America that exclusively raises funds, procures, delivers, and donates fresh beef high in protein to those in need.

Hunger in America

There are 200 food banks in the country that distribute more than 2.5 billion pounds of food to needy Americans each year. But in these tough economic times, the emergency food system is stretched to the brink. Needs are up and donations are down. And the first thing to go is beef – an incredibly important source of protein for children, adults and the elderly. While food stores generously donate beef that is at or near its expiration date, there simply is not enough protein to feed the growing number of food insecure people in America.

Beef4Hunger provides fresh beef to feed America’s hungry. In an economy in which more than one million public school students are homeless and one in six Americans are considered to be “food insecure,” Beef4Hunger is filling the plates of families with protein-rich fresh beef, providing nourishment and hope for a healthier, more enriching future.
