Q. What do I do if someone gives me a check or cash donation?
We encourage fundraisers to collect all of your donations online via your fundraiser (as this reduces processing time and costs). If necessary, donations collected in the form of checks can be mailed to 145 Border St, East Boston, 02128. Please include a note indicating the specific fundraiser for which the donation is intended.

Q. Can I connect a Facebook fundraiser to my "Helping Hungry Neighbors through the Holidays" fundraiser?
Yes! If you are a social media user, we encourage you to start a Facebook fundraiser associated with your Helping Hungry Neighbors through the Holidays fundraiser. 

You should register and create a fundraiser on Project Bread’s website first, then through your participant center you can start and connect a Facebook fundraiser. It is in the big blue box in your participant center. When you create a Facebook fundraiser through your participant center, the fundraisers are linked, donations to your Facebook fundraiser will display on your personal fundraising page totals and in your list of donors. 

Q. Why aren’t donations to my Facebook fundraiser are not showing up on my personal page?
They often take a "few minutes" to display on your personal fundraiser. If they don't show up in an hour or so, please reach out to info@projectbread.org and we can help reconcile your Facebook fundraiser with your personal page!
