What we have in place
- We currently have past donor letters and some promotional text, which should make it easy for you to get started. We also have a website with lots of info at www.greybears.org, and the ability to provide any other information you need.
How this will help
This project will save us $2,140 , allowing us to put that money toward program costs and create a more effective donor letter.
Our board and staff have identified increased fundraising as an essential component of our budget this year. Due to a lower availability from local food banks and growers, and increasing cost to purchase healthy food for our distribution program, fundraising is needed to help pay these costs.

Our mission
Grey Bears improves the health and well being of seniors through food distribution, volunteerism and resource conservation.
What we do
Grey Bears has evolved over four decades of serving our community by reusing, repairing, repurposing and recycling resources that would otherwise go to waste. Our Healthy Food for Seniors program distributes 2.3 million pounds of food to 4,000 seniors and individuals in need each year. Our thrift store includes housewares, furniture, clothing, books, medical supplies and refurbished computers and electronics. Our three recycling centers divert more than 6,000 tons of materials from local landfills. Our classes including chair yoga, Spanish, tech help and cooking, and luncheon events are attended by 3,500 seniors. With the help of more than 800 volunteers who donate 80,000 hours of service each year we have created a model template for a self-sustaining nonprofit.
