The East Hampton Food Pantry Joins 8,000+ Nonprofit Organizations for Largest Day of Crowdfunded Giving Across America

East Hampton, NY – On May 5, 2015, The East Hampton Food Pantry will join nonprofit organizations and community foundations across the country for Give Local America - a 24-hour crowdfunding event that provides individuals a platform to invest in and celebrate the work of local nonprofit organizations nationwide.

“We truly believe that every donation makes a difference in our community,” said Gabrielle Scarpaci, Executive Director for the East Hampton Food Pantry, “I am excited that East Hampton will participate in Give Local America 2015 and support the people and organizations who work tirelessly and selflessly to keep our community vital and strong.”

To ensure individuals have the ability to support the organizations or cities of their choice, Give Local America uses Kimbia, an online fundraising platform that helps organizations engage and develop deeper relationships with donors.

“Give Local America is about giving every person, every company, and every non-profit the opportunity to join in the collective fight to improve the long-term outlook of our communities and ultimately our country,” said Lori Finch, Vice President of Community Foundations for Kimbia. “Our hope is that Give Local America will continue to encourage and create the space for a sustainable culture of crowdfunded giving where people realize that no matter the amount, every single donation counts towards the health of their community.”
