Policy Research Associates, Inc. (PRA) is pleased to announce that it is continuing its longstanding partnership with IPH for this year’s Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York’s Adopt-A-Program. To double the impact of the Adopt-A-Program, PRA pledges to match funds donated in IPH’s name through the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York from September 1 to 30, 2023, dollar for dollar up to $2,500.  

The Regional Foodbank of Northeastern New York’s Adopt-A-Program directly supports the organization of the donor’s choosing, helping to alleviate hunger and food insecurity in the Capital Region. Using food purchased from the Regional Food Bank of Northeastern New York, IPH serves over 73,000 meals across its programs annually. The Adopt-A-Program stretches the food-buying power of IPH tenfold—for every $1 contributed to the Regional Food Bank Adopt-A-Program in IPH’s name, IPH will receive $20 worth of food to serve its guests. 

Double your donation by completing the following steps: 

  • Visit the Regional Foodbank of Northeastern New York’s Donation Form  
  • Select “Adopt-a-Program” under the question “What would you like your donation to support?” 
  • Enter IPH in the Partner Agency Name/Number field  

After completing your transaction, funds will be added to IPH’s account. 

PRA is pleased to partner with IPH during this year’s Food Bank Adopt-A-Program and to continue PRA and IPH’s robust and longstanding relationship:
