Double the Hope in May!

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Double the Hope in May!

IFM Voted Best Nonprofit—Help Us Meet the Growing Need!

Interfaith Food Ministry (IFM) is honored to share some exciting news: we have been voted Best Nonprofit in Nevada County! This incredible recognition is a testament to the compassion, dedication, and community spirit that fuels IFM’s mission every day. It’s not just a badge of honor—it’s proof that when a community comes together, we can make a powerful difference in the lives of our neighbors.

As we celebrate this milestone, we also recognize the rising need for food assistance and the uncertainties facing many families. That’s why IFM is launching our May Matching Campaign with an ambitious goal of raising $190,000 to help feed more families than ever before. Thanks to generous early supporters, $95,000 has already been pledged—and every dollar given during May will be doubled to maximize your impact. Because IFM leverages wholesale purchasing, strong partnerships, and a robust food rescue program, every donation stretches up to four or five times further than retail prices.

IFM’s food rescue program plays a critical role by recovering tens of thousands of pounds of surplus, perfectly good food each month from local grocery stores and distributors—keeping it out of landfills and putting it directly into the hands of those who need it most. This vital work is made possible by our extraordinary volunteers, who power more than 90% of IFM’s operations, from sorting produce and stocking shelves to distributing food and assisting clients.

“Our clients are your neighbors—working families, seniors on fixed incomes, and individuals facing unexpected hardships,” said Victoria Lindsay, IFM’s Marketing & Communications Manager. “This campaign is critical to making sure no one in our community goes hungry and that IFM can continue to provide hope in uncertain times.”

As one client recently shared, “Without IFM, I honestly don’t know how we would have gotten through the past year. It’s more than just food—it’s knowing someone cares. That kind of support means so much.”

This May, you can be part of something truly meaningful. Double your impact and help ensure that no family in our community feels the hurt of hunger.

As we embark on another month of service and solidarity, we're reminded of the power of community and the transformative impact of compassion. Thank you for your continued support and generosity.

With gratitude,

IFM Staff and Board of Directors
