Fundamentals of Campaign Coordination (great for those new to Operation Feed!),
Foodbank101: History & Programs (hosted by Foodbank President & CEO, Matt Habash, and Evelyn Behm, Sr. VP of Food & Strategic Initiatives).
Leveraging Social Media (learn how tools like Twitter and Facebook can help),
Virtual Food Drive Implementation (take your campaign to the next level by reaching out to friends and family),

A tour of the new Foodbank facility will be available after each training and breakout session.

Please note that staff members are also available to visit with your campaign committee to talk about Operation Feed, share materials and discuss best practices. Please contact the campaign office for more information.
