Impact and influence goes hand in hand with survivors sharing their personal experiences. These stories change lives.

In your line of work you’ve probably heard all the statistics about foodborne illness. Numbers make an impression, but consider the reality of those numbers: the individuals and families whose lives are irreparably altered, and whose “new normal” might include anything from a permanently empty chair at the table to the physical stress or mental anxiety that comes every time one lifts a fork to their mouths.

Giving a voice to victims and survivors is the mission of Stop Foodborne Illness.

As you may know, though STOP is national in scope we are a small nonprofit with 5 full-time employees. We believe that anyone who shares our mission to prevent illness and death from foodborne pathogens is a valuable ally and asset because we all eat, and on some level trust that the food we consume is safe for ourselves and our families.

We understand budget constraints and other barriers that would keep one from being as generous as they would like. However, our constituents’ stories are the foundation upon which all our work is done. No matter what the size of your company or organization, we ask that you thoughtfully consider a donation to Stop Foodborne Illness.

By answering the questions below you’ll help us keep record of where and how our message is being shared, and provide us with valuable information the assists us in grant-writing and fundraising.
