GiveBIG
2022-05-03 - 2022-05-04 | WA
GiveBIG is a statewide fundraising campaign where individuals and organizations come together across Washington to invest in our community. When we give, we take a proactive step towards creating the society we want to live in. Last year, EFN supporters gave over $25,000 during GiveBIG to provide our neighbors in need with nutritious, accessible food.
This year’s GiveBIG campaign kicks off April 19, and culminates with 48-hour giving event on May 3-4! By donating to EFN through our GiveBIG page, you can double your impact thanks to our matching gift from Coordinated Care. That means double the meals for our neighbors.
