30 Ways to Fight Hunger in 30 Days

Volunteer

• Contact Tarrant Area Food Bank or a local pantry, soup kitchen or shelter to find ways to volunteer.

• Volunteer to read children’s books about hunger awareness at your local library.

• With your kids, volunteer at Tarrant Area Food Bank or a local pantry or soup kitchen.

Donate/Raise Food

• Hold a virtual food drive, encouraging individuals to pledge monetary contributions online.

• Organize a neighborhood food drive – and be sure to check with your local food bank, pantry or shelter to determine what their needs truly are!

• Take up collections at your office, congregation, anywhere where the leadership is comfortable with you setting out a box to collect donations for your local food bank.
  

Donate/Raise Funds

• Donate a grocery store gift card to your local food bank so they can purchase most-needed items on their own.

• Coordinate a youth and adult athletic fundraising event to raise awareness/donations.

• Make a donation and spread the word!

• Instead of buying coffee, make coffee at home (and consider donating what you would have spent on coffee each day to your local food bank!).

• Establish an ongoing donation to Tarrant Area Food Bank or local food pantry.
  If you’re a business owner, designate a day during Hunger Action Month to donate a portion of your proceeds to fight hunger.
