Rush to SACK HUNGER in Kansas City!
Each year, around this time - when the Chiefs are playing championship football - we hold our biggest food drive of the year to support Kansas City families and individuals who are dealing with food insecurity. Become a champion for hunger by joining us today!
Offensive Line: Monetary Donation
In Johnson and Wyandotte County, Ks and Jackson County, Mo, over 158,000 people lived in poverty in 2022. An annual poverty line income of $27,750 for a family of 4 couldn’t cover 2022’s 10% rise is food costs. With an additional food cost increase of 4.5% expected this year, these people desperately need our help.
Let’s break that down.
The cost to feed a family of 4 on a low-cost meal plan in 2023 equates to:
- $36.34 a day
- $254.45 a week
- $1102.64 a month
A Family of 4 living in poverty earns $27,750 annually (less 11% tax rate).
- $2,058.12 monthly income after tax (no health insurance deduction)
- $1,102.64 monthly groceries
- $955.48 remaining for rent, utilities, car payment and gas, health insurance, school supplies, clothing, shoes, etc.
So how can we help?
Your monetary gifts offer our pantry partners the ability to purchase and distribute meat, dairy, and fresh produce for those struggling with food insecurity. It’s only through your generosity that we are able to continue helping our partner pantries in these communities to keep their doors open.
