door to door campaign

The Door-to-Door Campaign is a dynamic and grassroots initiative, where passionate fundraisers engage directly with the community to garner support for the Community Meal Share Program. Armed with the mission to combat food insecurity, our dedicated team visits neighborhoods, sharing compelling stories and raising awareness about the critical issue at hand. Through genuine conversations and personal connections, fundraisers seek one-time or monthly donations to sustain the program. This personalized approach not only fosters a sense of community engagement but also allows individuals to become active contributors to a cause that directly impacts their local community. The Door-to-Door Campaign is the heartbeat of our fundraising efforts, embodying the spirit of collective action and community support that lies at the core of the initiative.

schools program (own clothes/raffle)

Introducing our Schools Program—a comprehensive educational initiative aimed at raising awareness and empowering the next generation to combat food waste and food insecurity. Through this program, we provide schools with free downloadable resources, designed to be seamlessly incorporated into their curriculum after a briefing from our dedicated team. Teachers can lead engaging sessions on the importance of reducing waste, cooking skills, and the impact of food poverty.

Moreover, we invite schools to actively participate in fundraising for the Community Meal Share Program. Annually, schools have the opportunity to organize events such as own clothes days, raffles, bake sales, or other collective activities to support our mission. By extending the message to as many schools as possible, we aim to educate and inform not only students but also teachers and parents about the pressing issues of food insecurity. Join us in nurturing a generation that values sustainability, empathy, and collective action. Together, we can make a lasting impact on both awareness and action.
