Giving Opportunities
There are many ways to make a difference.
*Matching gifts through your company
(GE, Duke Energy, Gannet, Humana Health Care
for example). If you work for these or another company with a matching gift program, please consider
a matching gift to IPM.
*Your Planned gift
As you focus on the blessings left to us by others
and your life experiences, you probably have wondered what legacy you will leave. Consider how you
might include IPM in your estate plans and leave a
legacy for those seeking help in a time of need.
Contact Gail or Lindsey at IPM.
Inter Parish Ministry was formed over 49 years ago to
assist families and children living in poverty. Today, over
40 churches, plus many individuals, businesses, schools
and other community groups support IPM’s mission and
bring hope to families in need.
We invite you to partner with IPM and share your “time,
talent and treasure” to enable us to help more families
know the love of Christ and move toward self-reliance.

Participate in the Feinstein Challenge in March & April
We need your help this spring to get the IPM Choice Food Pantry shelves ready for the lean
summer months when demand for food increases and
supply decreases.
You can help us by:
**Holding a Feed the Hungry Food Drive
**Donating Critically Needed Food Items
**Donating Funds to IPM’s Choice Food Pantry
Your springtime efforts will coincide with the 15th Annual Feinstein Food Challenge and give
IPM an opportunity to add to whatever you give during March and April. The more we receive
from you, the more of the $1 million
Mr. Feinstein has set aside for this national challenge we will get.
Please help others who experience hunger daily and donate during March and April.
Participate in the Alan Shawn Feinstein Foundation’s Million
Dollar Give-Away for Hunger!
