City Transformation
You Can Feed The Hungry Start A ...
About 15% of the population does not have money to buy food from day to day. I you live on an average block in Newark thats about 12 to 14 people just on your block who might be hungry tonight. While there are many “soup kitchens” in the city there are hardly enough. But there is something you can do. You can make a difference in transforming your city, and the lives of others. You do not have to be an organization to start a food drive. Just a passion for people and a willingness to work. So here’s how you can transform your city by feeding those in need. 1.
Ask a local grocery store if you can setup a drive at the store. Have friends give out information about the collection as people go in. On the way out, collect the donations.
2. Setup a competition between grades or homerooms in your school to see who can collect the most food. 3. Host a movie night and charge a food item as the admission price. Take it a step further: ask a local movie theater to host it. Now you can get hundreds of people and cans of food. 4. Have a pajama/dress down day. Set a goal like, if half of the students bring in food, you get to dress down.
