During the month of March and April, Care Nursing and Rehab is joining efforts to support the Good Samaritan Ministries’ March Against Hunger campaign and their participation in the Feinstein Challenge.

Throughout these two months, Care Nursing and Rehab will be accepting donations of canned foods for their March Against Hunger food drive.  By donating canned foods, Good Samaritan Ministries will get credit of $1 per item toward the challenge.  Donations may be dropped off at Care Nursing and Rehab, located at 200 County Rd 616 in Early or for pickup of donations, please call Jodie Armstrong at 325-642-0363.

For 16 consecutive years, Alan Shawn Feinstein has issued his one million dollar challenge to food pantries across the country to raise awareness for hunger. And once again, Good Samaritan Ministries has taken on the challenge.

Each year, Feinstein puts up $1 million of his own money as a charge to food pantries. The more money each pantry raises during March and April, the greater portion of the $1 million they are eligible to receive.

During the months of March and April, every donation made for any of GSM’s three hunger ministries: Food Pantry, Food for thought and The Deer Project counts toward the challenge.  Monetary donations count dollar for dollar and every food donation counts as either $1 per item or pound depending on which is greater.
