Randy Jensen is a member of the St. Francis Pastoral Council and has served on the DMARC board of directors. When trying to ramp up fundraising within his parish community Randy looked at the strength in numbers that was possible with a larger congregation and decided ‘we can be doing more than just collecting jars of peanut butter’.
Travis and others have been telling the ongoing story of food insecurity by sharing data about what people are experiencing in their neighborhood and keeping the focus on the larger impact DMARC’s purchasing power as a warehouse provides. So far this year the parish community has now raised over $22,278 of support for the DMARC Food Pantry Network and Travis encourages other Faith Partners to consider how they can learn from their success.
“The story of the need is so easy to convey to the parishioners because you are already feeding it to us. The DMARC voice is loud, clear and present.”
