Photo Contest

    











Organizations showed how they "Rally To Tally" in the fight against hunger by submitting a single digital photo and short caption to illustrate their engagement in Operation Feed. Photos were posted on the foodbank's Facebook page and those with the most "likes" were chosen as finalists. Winning photos were recognized at this year's Campaign Finale and just might spot them in marketing efforts for Operation Feed 2012.

Virtual Food Drive

The Virtual Food Drive is a quick and easy way to help fight hunger and increase the impact of your drive. This web-based tool allows anyone to support Operation Feed through an online credit card donation. It also provides a great way to extend the reach of your campaign. You and your associates can involve contacts, friends and family in the Operation Feed effort to provide additional meals for community members in need. Read more about ways to leverage the virtual drive, or get instructions for setting up your page.

Education and Events Email Update

Each week during the Campaign, Operation Feed will distribute an email designed to help educatate your associates and engage them in your efforts. It will feature a short "Tell Us Your Story" video highlighting one person's involvement in the fight against hunger, an upcoming event or opportunity for anyone to support Operation Feed, and a fact about hunger or the Foodbank's work. Forward these to members of your organization or encourage them to add themselves to the mailing list. Click here to access the archive.
