Eugene resident Susan Hanner donates locally, but that was not always the case.
“I made a significant shift about 8 years ago,” Hanner said. “Instead of spreading my contributions all over the country, I decided to focus more locally and to pick a couple local organizations that I would give more substantial funds to.”
“I chose FOOD for Lane County and Womenspace as being the primary recipients because I think people shouldn’t go hungry, and I think women who are in distress should have a place they can go that’s safe,” said Hanner. “Those were both passions of mind so that’s the direction I decided to go.”
“I’d like to think of it having an impact on people who are in my world,” she said. “And there’s a multiplication factor, that if it stays here it has a greater impact on the local community.”
Volunteering Makes Mission Real
Hanner also volunteers in the FOOD for Lane County kitchen for Food Rescue Express with volunteer group Mitakyue Oyasin.
“I already had been a financial donor for a long time when I started volunteering in the kitchen a few years ago,” said Hanner. “When I got into the kitchen and really saw what was going on, that really showed me how important the work is and how it impacts people’s lives in a positive way.”
“I love volunteering for FREX. I would like to do more.”
Monthly Donors Keep the Food Moving
Donating monthly is one of the most effective ways to support FOOD for Lane County. Regular monthly donations help donors balance their annual giving throughout the year and give FOOD for Lane County a steady source of support.
“I donate monthly because it’s easy and convenient,” said Hanner. “It goes to my credit card so I don’t have to think about it. I know that it’s happening. And it spreads it out over the year which helps with budgeting.”
