Host A Fundraiser
You can use your own creativity to organize a fundraiser for the Food Bank, or you can follow one of our five tried and true strategies for success.
1. Bag a lunch. Ask colleagues to bring a bag lunch and donate the money that they would have spent eating at a restaurant.
2. Skip a meal. Ask colleagues to skip a meal and donate the money that they would have spent on food. This will also give participants perspective on how hunger impacts their daily activities.
3. Competition or Challenge. Organize a contest between departments, teams or groups with awards for the group that raises the most financial contributions, like a pizza lunch, a free party, or breakfast with an executive.
4. Hold a party. Hold a party or lunch with the price of admission set at $5 donation.
5. Round up. For retailers or restaurants, encourage customers or employees to round up purchases to the nearest dollar or other round number.The difference is donated to the Wichita Falls Area Food Bank on their behalf.
