Donate to Support 3rd Annual Skates for Plates Food Drive, organized by Miller Finkelmeier

Hello, our names are Miller Finkelmeier and Ben Ferraro, and we’re reaching out to ask for your support for a project close to our hearts. Together, we organize the Skates for Plates food drive, which benefits the Daily Bread Community Food Pantry in Collegeville, PA. We began Skates for Plates in 2022, when we were freshmen at Pope John Paul II High School and teammates on the Valley Forge Colonials hockey team. Our goal was to combine our love of hockey with a desire to help those in need in our community. Each year, we run the food drive at Center Ice skating rink in Oaks, PA, where we connect with the hockey teams and families that come through the rink every week. In our first year, we were able to collect 294 pounds of food, which provided 245 meals for those in need. In our second year, thanks to expanded outreach and more convenient donation options, we collected over 400 pounds of food—translating to over 330 meals. Additionally, Daily Bread informed us that they were in desperate need of personal care and household items. With the funds collected, we were able to purchase and donate over 550 essential items like deodorant, shampoo, laundry detergent, and disinfectant spray. All in all, our combined efforts resulted in 794 pounds of goods collected in our second year, making it our most successful drive yet! Now, in our third year, we are launching a GoFundMe campaign to help grow this initiative and continue meeting the increasing needs of our community. Every dollar donated will go directly to purchasing essential food and personal care items for those in need. Thank you for skating along with us on this journey! Miller & Ben Read more

Why GoFundMe Articles and URLs Appear on Our Website and How We Support Other GoFundMe Campaigns

At LFEBridge Foundation, we are dedicated to creating a platform where individuals and organizations can maximize their fundraising efforts. As part of our commitment to supporting a wide range of causes, we incorporate articles and URLs from GoFundMe into our website. Here’s why you might see GoFundMe content on our site, how it benefits the fundraising community, and our relationship with GoFundMe:

1. Amplifying Reach for Fundraising Campaigns

  • Increased Visibility: By featuring GoFundMe articles and URLs on our platform, we help increase the visibility of various fundraising campaigns. This additional exposure can attract more donors and supporters, helping campaigns achieve their goals more quickly.

  • Cross-Promotional Opportunities: Highlighting campaigns from GoFundMe allows us to support a broader spectrum of causes and connect with a wider audience. This cross-promotion benefits both the campaign organizers and potential donors looking for causes to support.

2. Supporting Campaign Growth

  • Advertising and Promotion: We understand the importance of visibility in successful fundraising. By showcasing GoFundMe campaigns, we provide an advertising platform that helps these campaigns reach potential donors who might not have discovered them otherwise.

  • Strategic Partnerships: Collaborating with GoFundMe and featuring their campaigns on our site strengthens the fundraising ecosystem, ensuring that worthwhile causes receive the attention and support they deserve.

3. Expanding Donor Networks

  • Broader Donor Base: Featuring a variety of campaigns from different platforms helps diversify and expand the donor base. This means more people can learn about and contribute to a variety of causes, ultimately driving higher engagement and donations.

  • Enhanced Outreach: By integrating GoFundMe content, we help campaigns tap into new networks and communities, broadening their reach and potential impact.

How We Help Other GoFundMe Campaigns Grow

1. Featured Campaigns Section

  • Highlighting Noteworthy Campaigns: We have a dedicated section on our website where we feature noteworthy GoFundMe campaigns. This not only gives these campaigns a spotlight but also encourages visitors to explore and contribute to them.

  • Rotating Features: To ensure a diverse range of campaigns get visibility, we regularly rotate the featured campaigns. This continuous update keeps the content fresh and engaging for our audience.

2. Social Media Promotion

  • Sharing Across Platforms: We share selected GoFundMe campaigns on our social media channels to reach a broader audience. Our followers, in turn, can share these posts, amplifying the reach even further.

  • Engagement Strategies: Utilizing effective engagement strategies, such as storytelling and compelling visuals, we enhance the appeal of these campaigns, driving more traffic and donations.

  • Donor Updates: We keep our donors informed about the progress and success of the campaigns they have supported, fostering a sense of community and continued engagement.

LFEBridge Foundation's Independence

It’s important to clarify that LFEBridge Foundation is an independent entity and is not part of or affiliated with GoFundMe. While we feature and support GoFundMe campaigns on our site, we operate as a separate foundation dedicated to collecting donations for various causes, similar to GoFundMe. Many of these causes are displayed on our website to provide donors with a wide range of options to support.

Conclusion

By featuring GoFundMe articles and URLs on our website, LFEBridge Foundation supports a wide array of fundraising campaigns, helping them gain the visibility and donations they need to succeed. Through our promotional efforts and strategic partnerships, we aim to create a robust and supportive environment for all fundraising initiatives.
