Double Your Impact: Honoring Jim Shelden’s Legacy with a $100,000 Matching Gift
The need for food assistance across Kansas is growing. More families than ever are turning to the Kansas Food Bank for help — and right now, you have the opportunity to make an even greater difference.
In honor of Jim Shelden, a founding board member and passionate advocate for hunger relief, the Shelden Family has generously offered a $100,000 matching gift. Every donation made will be matched dollar-for-dollar now through the end of August, effectively doubling your impact and helping ensure no Kansan has to go hungry.
Jim Shelden is more than just a founding board member — he’s a visionary leader and tireless supporter alongside his wife, Charlotte, who helped build the foundation of what the Kansas Food Bank is today. His commitment to feeding others continues to inspire us, and this special matching gift from the Shelden Family is a powerful tribute to his legacy.
We invite you to watch this video that celebrates Jim’s contributions and highlights the growing need across our communities. It’s a reminder that one person — or one family — truly can make a difference.
Many thanks to Jim & Charlotte, his daughter Stacey and her late husband, Marc, and his son Stan and his wife, Cynthia for using their incredible gift to help inspire others and nourish our community.
