Get social savvy

Share efforts to fight hunger on social media and spread the word.

Volunteer and say thank you

Find a local food bank here and check in to see their need for volunteers. Thank food bank staff and volunteers on the front lines who help millions of families. Kindness goes a long way, especially during the holidays.

You can also share a virtual post and thank you note here.

Check in with local businesses

Ask local restaurants, cafes and food businesses if they have systems in place to distribute perishable and unused food.
