"In 2004, Forbes magazine gave America's Second Harvest, of which the Houston Food Bank is a branch, a charitable commitment rating of 98: that means 98% of donations received by ASH go toward feeding hungry people rather than to administrative or fundraising costs. Furthermore, the purchase power of contributions to HFB is accelerated because they get many food products donated by major suppliers and have access to the inventory of the US Department of Agriculture for their purchases. Hence, for every $1 donated by the public, HFB distributes $25 worth of food (13 meals). We were also impressed by the swiftness of their response: as of September 6th, ASH had dispatched 232 truckloads containing 8 million pounds of food and distributed 6 million meals. I also would like to thank Prem Rawat for his generosity. Early this year Maharaji donated more than $700,000 to TPRF in the form of proceeds from a benefit auction where all the auctioned items were gifted by him. This generous donation is helping improve the quality of life for people most in need." Related link: he Prem Rawat Foundation Donates $75,000 for Hunger Relief to Hurricane Katrina victims |
