Mark your calendars and schedule your donations - Amplify Austin Day 2017 is 6pm March 2nd - 6pm March 3rd! Amplify Austin Day is our city's annual community-wide day of online giving.

This year, we need your help to "turnip the beet!" and raise $16,500 for our community programs that work to improve access to healthy and affordable food for everyone in Austin. Even better - your gift to SFC will be amplified through a generous matching grant from St. David's Foundation! Please, join our city wide movement of giving and #AmplifyATX for SFC!
