I made this to show the guests just how much money has been raised by people like themselves to our local food banks. I know no one else can really use it, except for those living in Iowa, but maybe you could make your own:rolleyes:

Nice! I always just tell them how much goes to our local food bank but also have the Round Up flier in the guest packets. Just as an fyi, the cookbook and trivet money goes to Feeding America Corporate. It's the Rounding Up the order that goes locally. So if your guests really want to make an impact locally, they should add to their round up amount.
 
I like that :) I use just the 20th anniversary flyer, but I need to remember to go and write the amount donated to the Atlanta Community Food Bank in my notes
 
How do you find the amounts?
