What We Need

Beyond volunteering to package or serving as a Leadership Volunteer there are other, immediate ways for you to help:

  • Publicize our World Food Day Commemoration: Please invite your colleagues, friends and classmates to join in and support this amazing effort! You can:
    • Use Email, Twitter, LinkedIn and Facebook: alert your friends, associates, classmates, colleagues and others (as well as Facebook and LinkedIn groups) about the effort.

    • Share the link to our website

    • Help with Our Marketing: we need brochures, posters, and banners printed, as well as photography, videography and production of video
    • Make a Tax-Deductible Special Gift to Help with the Costs of our Commemoration: since the actual cost of a packaging session is about $35 per participant, funds are needed to help "bridge" what participants are asked to donate and the real costs of the food/packaging, etc. Any gift of ANY amount is deeply appreciate!
      Certain special gifts come with unique recognition and opportunities:
      • $2500: is the equivalent of food for 10,000 starving children: its donor receives a "First Course" designation, recognition on signage, etc., and may allow eight people to participate for free in the event
      • $5000: is the equivalent of food for 20,000 starving children: its donor receives a "PlaceSetter" designation, recognition on signage, etc., and may choose to allow a full team to participate for free in the event
      • $10,000: is the equivalent of food for 40,000 starving children: its donor receives a "Head of the Table" designation, recognition on signage, etc., and may choose to allow a two full teams to participate for free in the event
      • $25,000: is the equivalent of food for 100,000 starving children: its donors receive a "Maître d" designation, recognition on signage, etc., and allows four teams to participate for free in the event
      • $50,000: is the equivalent of food for 200,000 starving children: its donor receives a "Top Chef" designation, recognition on signage, etc., and allows six teams to participate for free in the event
