March Against Hunger & Host a Drive!
March Against Hunger & Host a Drive!
Thank you for supporting your neighbors in need by hosting a fund drive for CEAP. Below are some tips for organizing and hosting your drive. We hope they make supporting those in need as easy & fun as possible.
If you have any questions or concerns about hosting a drive, please contact Rachel Hickok, Director of Development at 763-450-3664.
- Set start and end dates for your drive that work best for you and your organization, family or group.
- Create an attainable goal for your drive. Do you want to raise $1,000? 300 pounds of food? How about a goal of 100% participation?
- Encourage friends to donate online. Direct them to www.ceap.org/donate to make a financial contribution.
- Publicize your drive. Post the event description and dates on your website, social media, and newsletters. Then follow up! Let your audience know your progress towards your goal.
- Draw attention to your drive with a unique collection container. Wagons, brightly colored boxes, or even filling a vehicle can bring added attention to your drive.
- Create some friendly competition. In the end, everyone wins! Divide into teams for added interest. Who can get the most cans in a week? The most pounds? Challenge a group similar to yours to compete with you and make the top spot a fun reward! Pizza party anyone?
- Have fun! Celebrate your efforts to help those in need in our community.
