Feinstein Award Please consider contributing non perishable food to the Center during March and April. During this period, the value of non perishable food donation to the Center are applied to the Feinstein Million Dollar Grant. This grant is divided proportionately among participating agencies across the United States. We also ask you to consider promoting a Food Drive during this period. In the past successful Food Drives have been run by schools, offices, Boy and Girl Scout Troops, Athletic leagues, social clubs etc. Below is a letter from Mr Feinstein describing the program. Alan Shawn Feinstein 37 Alhambra Circle Cranston, RI 02905 Please use MY money to help your neighbors in need! My name is Alan Shawn Feinstein. For the past 16 years, I have been giving away $1 million each year to anti-hunger agencies throughout the country.  This year, I am doing it again ... WHATEVER YOU DONATE TO THIS AGENCY, I WILL ADD MONEY TO IT. THE MORE YOU GIVE, THE MORE OF MY $1 MILLION THEY'LL GET-THANKS TO YOU! Why am I doing this? Because I believe each of us was put here on earth to do what we can to help those in need. You got this letter because we feel that YOU believe that, too. My money started this campaign but it is YOU who will help decide how many needy people in your city or town will be fed this year. This has become the greatest grass roots campaign ever to fight hunger in our country. Your donation makes you a partner in it with me! We Are Needed Now! Please give whatever you can - I gladly add my money to yours. (My $1 million will be divided proportionately in full among the agencies receiving donations from my offer). Thank you for sharing my heart, and the hope that-some day-no one will ever go hungry. Sincerely Yours, Alan Shawn Feinstein P. S. All that will matter to us someday is what we did while we were here to help those in need.
