You are invited to join us tomorrow for our Follow-Up Webinar, designed to move from inspiration to implementation as we continue strengthening faith-based partnerships addressing food insecurity in our communities.

📅 Date: March 12, 2026
⏰ Time: 6:00 PM Eastern

During this session, we will focus on clear, actionable steps that will help churches and ministries effectively partner with Feeding America and expand their community impact.

📋 Webinar Agenda

🤝 How to Apply as an Official Partner with Feeding America
Step-by-step guidance on becoming a recognized partner organization.

🏦 How to Connect with Your Local Feeding America Food Bank Affiliate
Understanding regional networks and how to build strong, sustainable relationships with local food banks.

⛪ How to Be an Effective and Productive Faith Partner
Best practices for faith-based organizations serving their communities with excellence and consistency.

🧰 Community Feeding Resources & Tools
Practical tools and resources to help you launch or strengthen food distribution and outreach efforts.

📎 Resources from Our February 26 Session

Our partners at Feeding America provided two helpful one-page documents outlining:

• 📄 501(c)(3) eligibility requirements
• 📄 Church qualifier eligibility criteria

These resources explain the foundational requirements for partnership approval and are attached for your review.

We also shared two powerful community resource platforms that can assist families in locating essential services such as food, housing, healthcare, and more:

🔎 www.findhelp.org
🥫 www.foodfinder.us

We are grateful for your willingness to stand in the gap. Holistic ministry requires both proclamation and provision, and together we are strengthening the Church’s capacity to serve communities with excellence.

Please come prepared to ask questions, share experiences, and take the next step in expanding your community impact.
