Kids Serving the Community

This is a great project to help encourage people on your street or neighbourhood to donate to a local food bank. 

 

You can do this by making it very easy for them to donate!

We did this by: 

​

1. Writing a letter introducing yourself and including a time that you will pick up donations from porches.  We suggest 3-5 days after you drop off the letters.

​

2. Drop off letters and bags at your neighbours.​

​

3. Set up a big plastic bin on your porch for neighbours to drop donations off.

 

4. Pick up the donations from the porches on the day and time that you set.

​

5. Drop off the donations at your local food bank.

​

Some other helpful tips

• Check your local food bank in advance for their most needed items!

• Have your parents post on local sites like Next Door

• Make sure your bins are strong enough to carry the food

• Check if there are any opportunities to volunteer at your local food bank

• Take a photo of your haul before you drop if off to share back and post to people who donated so they can see the impact they have made together!
