How It Works
Earn 10 Community Service Hours!
Create & Manage your own food drive.
- Students sign up as a Neighborhood Captain.
- Dermer Dreams delivers 100 donation bags to the captain 2 weeks before the food drive.
- The captain creates their strategy and distributes the bags one week before the food drive.
- On the date of the food drive, the student, along with a parent or adult, picks up the donations and deliver them to the Dermer Dreams drop site.
- Upon delivery, the captain receives a certificate for 10 Hours of Community Service.
IT’S THIS SIMPLE. WE PROVIDE YOU EVERYTHING AND THERE IS NO COST TO YOU!
It is the Neighborhood Captain’s job to manage the program from start to finish.
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.
- Distribute bags to members of a sports team you are part of and ask them to fill a bag.
- 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.
