Since I started
working for Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland, I have found that most
people want to and are willing to help; most of them just don’t know how or
when or where. Well, I’m going to share
with everyone a few options:
- Conduct a food drive, either within your company for the employees or with your customers.
- Volunteer your time at your local volunteer center. For those of you with children/families, volunteering your time before or after work and between practices and recitals may prove to be impossible.
- Make a charitable financial contribution to any hunger-relief program either as an individual or group/organization.
- Check out Hunger! There are these small pull tab displays in the checkout lanes (just above the candy and gum) at Kroger that you can pull off and hand to the cashier and he/she will add the amount shown on the tab ($1.00, $2.00 or $5.00) to your final grocery bill. The proceeds from these tabs go to Feeding America, Kentucky’s Heartland so that we can purchase food for those in need. This is a very easy way to help and it doesn’t take up any of your personal time and doesn’t require you to organize any type of food drive.
Because I personally overlooked
them so many times, I took a picture of one of these displays so that everyone
would know what to look for. Thank you
for letting me share a few ideas on how to help your community. – Angie Lile, Development Assistant
