March 2026 Newsletter

Dear Friends and Supporters,

Spring is here! I hope you and your families had a cozy and warm winter. I first want to give all that support The Central Downtown Food Basket, my genuine and deep heartfelt thanks for your continued contributions to our mission in feeding the hungry. Because of you we were able to give families a pleasant surprise during the holidays with a chicken for every pot. We thought that one to two chickens with all the fixings per household, depending on the size of their family, would go further and create less waste than a turkey. Thanks to our donors, it was an overwhelming success! CDFB cannot do what it does for the community without your monetary donations. In our June newsletter I will discuss a new project in the planning stages that will even better serve our community, stay tuned.

I would like to take some time to talk about recurring donations. Over the past months many of you have asked how to sign up for monthly contributions. Recurring donations enable us to better plan for projects and special food giveaways. If this is something you would like to do, here are the steps to set up a recurring donation: 

1- Go to www.CDFB.org

2- Click on the donate button

3- Click “Make this a monthly donation”

4- Enter amount of donation

5- Follow directions to finish your recurring donation

Thank you again for your continued support! The world is constantly changing and is making it harder to raise funds to help feed those affected by change. You make it possible for us to continue our goal in reaching households in dire need.

Bless you and your families,

Timothy Baumbach
CEO
