Create Your Plan Of Action!
Consider the following ideas or design your own.
- Raise money through a Venmo campaign. Request $10 per person and go shopping to fill some of your bags.
- Text friends & family who live nearby to request that they fill bags.
- Distribute bags to people you know in your community.
- Hand out bags in front of a supermarket and ask people to fill the bag as they are shopping.
- Request that employees in your parents’ workplace fill bags.
- Use social media to create awareness about your food drive.
- Put a personal note inside the bag explaining why you want to help people who are hungry.
- Offer personal pick-up times when someone can text you to pick up their bag.
- Distribute bags and letters to homes in your neighborhood and pick up the bags after 9am on pick up day.
Be Creative and Design the best plan of action for you!
