Kenai Peninsula Food Bank holding ‘matching’ fundraisers in March

Each donation in March will be matched until the food bank can meet its goal

The Kenai Peninsula Food Bank is holding two fundraisers in March, one in partnership with the Kenai Peninsula Community Care Center and the other with Walmart. Both organizations have committed to matching donations through the end of the month.

“March Match-ness” with KPCCC is built on a pledged matching donation of $20,000. Each donation in March will be matched until the food bank can meet that goal.

Donations can be made online at the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank’s website, by phone at 907-262-3111, by mail or in person at the food bank.

With Walmart, the food bank is a partner for the Spark Good Matching Campaign. Those placing orders online or through the Walmart app can select the food bank as their charity — any donations made by rounding up change to the next dollar will be matched two-fold by the corporation.

To set the Kenai Peninsula Food Bank as your benefiting charity, visit Walmart.com/SparkGood.
