Feinstein Challenge

What is it? The Feinstein Challenge is a national food fundraising drive during the months of March and April to benefit local hunger relief agencies in communities across the country.

How does it work? Local hunger relief agencies each get their percentage of Mr. Feinstein's $1 million that reflects their percentage of the total money raised by participating agencies, in addition to the money raised by participants.

Who participates? Everyone and anyone!! There are no age restrictions for participants.

What can I do? Participants need to donate canned goods or money to Catholic Charities.

What good does that do? Feinstein’s past $1 million challenges to fight hunger have raised a record $620 million for agencies nationwide.
