A Twitter food drive is proposed to simplify how people address hunger in their community. The local food bank would start a Twitter feed and ask for virtual donations through retweets or by visiting their website at certain times of year. Those who make virtual donations promise to help address hunger by taking canned goods from their pantry to the food bank, providing an easy way for people to get involved in donating food.JustFood_2015_ltr

This document discusses ways to eradicate extreme poverty and hunger locally. It suggests volunteering at a homeless shelter, organizing food drives and fundraisers, getting to know those in need to spread awareness, and using social media to share stories and realities of hunger to raise awareness and funds. The greatest impact could be made through direct volunteer work at shelters and donations of time, money, and clothes to help people struggling with poverty and lack of food.Tips for Starting Faith-Based Community Gardens
Tips for Starting Faith-Based Community GardensBenBeckers

Starting a faith-based community garden provides opportunities to help those in need, educate youth, and benefit the local community. Successful gardens involve one or two committed individuals who find it easy to recruit volunteers from within and outside the congregation. Existing gardens receive donations of materials, tools, and labor from local businesses and organizations. They grow a variety of vegetables and fruits to donate to food banks and shelters. While weeding and volunteer coordination can be challenging, gardens foster intergenerational learning and allowing congregations to provide fresh food to those in need. When starting a garden, committees advise starting small, choosing easy crops, and keeping the congregation involved through the process.Haewon lee

The document discusses ways to help eradicate extreme poverty and hunger. It notes how images of suffering on TV influenced the author to participate in food banks helping the poor. It suggests asking restaurants and markets to donate leftover food, volunteering more at local food banks, and creating a "take one, leave one" program. The author proposes going around their neighborhood to raise awareness and collect donations, and helping one person at a time. Social media like GoFundMe and Facebook are identified as ways to raise funds and awareness to support local homeless and those in poverty.Raise your hand for community change!

This document discusses eradicating extreme poverty and hunger. It defines poverty as a lack of basic needs like food, clothing, and shelter. It believes no family should fall below a level of comfort and the country should address its own issues before helping others. Locally, this could mean raising the minimum wage to include healthcare and family size, increasing food bank delivery frequencies, and providing free school meals and childcare. The greatest contribution could come from starting local donation websites, offering school dinners and childcare, and changing school programs. Social media advertising through political leaders could help change regulations to support this goal. The overall message is that eliminating poverty and hunger should be a top priority to improve lives and society.Donation request

United Way NYC should encourage volunteers to make Tumblr accounts to blog about their volunteer work as it is easy to use and allows sharing pictures, videos and links.

Rainforest Alliance could use social media like Foursquare and Flickr to raise awareness and engage volunteers.

Orientation provides an opportunity for first year students to become familiar with their new university.

This document proposes options for grocery stores to donate one bag of groceries per day to those in need by encouraging customer donations at checkout. Option 1 suggests rounding customer totals up and donating the extra change, Option 2 uses "Hunger Bucks" customers receive based on spending that are deposited in a donation bag, and Option 3 highlights different healthy products each week whose purchases earn points for a donation bag.
