Help L.I.F.E.  (Loveland Inter-Faith Effort) feed local families by donating to the food pantry during the months of March and April.   All donations made during this time will be increased due to our participation in the Feinstein $1 Million Challenge.

For the 17^th consecutive year, Alan Shawn Feinstein will divide $1 million among hunger- fighting agencies nationwide.  This money is used to help agencies like L.I.F.E. raise funds in March and April.   The more donations made to LIFE from March 1^st to April 30^th, the more of the Feinstein challenge money L.I.F.E.  will receive.  The $1 million is divided proportionally among participating agencies.  Only donations or pledges received from March 1^st to April 30^th can be counted toward the Feinstein challenge.   These donations can include cash, checks, food items (valued at $1.00 per item or pound), or pledges.  The L.I.F.E. food pantry will use money collected to buy food from the Freestore and elsewhere to keep the pantry stocked.

The L.I.F.E. food pantry, located at the Prince of Peace Lutheran Church on the corner of Lebanon and West Loveland, serves clients who reside in the Loveland school district.  The L.I.F.E. food pantry serves an average of 225 families or 600 individuals per month.  Donations made to L.I.F.E. are used here in our community to help our neighbors. 

Please mark all donations “Feinstein Challenge”.  Monetary donations may be mailed to L.I.F.E., 101 South Lebanon, Loveland, OH 45140.  L.I.F.E. is a 501(c) (3) organization as defined by the Internal Revenue Service, so all donations are tax deductible.  Donations of non-perishable food items marked “Feinstein Challenge” may be dropped off in the food pantry bins located just inside the main entrance of Prince of Peace Lutheran Church.
