September is Hunger Action Month and we want you to join us in the fight against hunger! No matter where you live you can do something this month to create awareness around hunger in your local community.
Whether you do it alone or with a sister-we can all make an impact and increase awareness. Utilize the resources below so that while you’re raising awareness you are also sharing that Alpha Gams are united in impacting the world.
Here’s how you can get started:
SOCIAL MEDIA RESOURCES ExpandUtilize the following hashtags when posting throughout the month of September:
· #FightingHunger
· #FullPlatesHeartsMinds
· #AlphaGamServes
· #AlphaGamGives
· #HungerActionMonth
· #ContributingToTheWorldsWork
VOLUNTEER ExpandVolunteer at your local fighting hunger charity. Gather a group of sisters or friends to volunteer together during September or find a volunteer slot for yourself and meet new people when you volunteer! Find your local fighting hunger organization by accessing the links below.
- Feeding America
- Meals on Wheels
- Food Banks Canada
- Foodpantries.org
- There are many other local options like community gardens, soup kitchens, food rescue and more. If you have trouble finding a local fighting hunger organization near you, reach out to us here.
We are always seeking stories and knowledge from our sisters related to our philanthropic cause to share on social media, in print materials and in future video. Do you have a unique experience you want to share? Or maybe an idea that sisters could learn from to fight hunger? Tell us your thoughts here.
CHAPTER PROGRAMMING ExpandSeptember is a great month to educate your members so that when they are tabling or talking about our philanthropy, they know exactly what to say! Check the Fighting Hunger section of Acorn for a PPT to share at your next meeting to ensure everyone knows about our commitment to fighting hunger-during Hunger Action Month, as well as year-round.
