There are many ways you can help:
Curbing Hunger Month: June is Curbing Hunger month in Somerset County, NJ. June is also the month of our Can Challenge Construction and display. To make this a reality, financial contributions are needed starting NOW. We need to purchase almost 13,000 cans of food! You can help by telling and e-mailing your friends and neighbors now about the Can Challenge or do a posting on social media, such as Facebook.
You can also sponsor a Curbing Hunger Day at your local farmer’s market. We can arrange for this food to get to the foodbanks. Other ideas and suggestions are welcomed.
Volunteer: Volunteers are always welcome and essential to the program’s success. Help is needed for organizing events, fundraising, advertising and raising money for our can structure, as well as working in local pantries and communications just to name a few.
Contribute Food: Help pass the word at community picnics and events, to share food at charter days, farmer’s markets, etc. Tell your friends and neighbors we are raising funds for the can structure and encourage them to donate for our can purchase. Work with your local newspapers to get the word out. And, of course, contribute food whenever you can.
Start a Curbing Hunger Event: Be a Curbing Hunger Champion at your place of worship, company or organization. Perhaps starting an online food drive or partnering with an online food drive we already have set up.
Be a Sponsor: A financial contribution is always welcome in any amount. Major sponsors become part of the publicity surrounding the Curbing Hunger can challenge in press releases, public kick-off meetings, names on the orange bags, announcements at public places with other sponsors such as the Patriot’s Baseball Team’s Curbing Hunger night, etc. Since Curbing Hunger is a registered 501(c)3, your contribution is tax deductible.
