Halloween is the perfect time to get your community together to help your neighbors in need. What better way to give back than by hosting a food drive.
"Trick-Or-Can!": A few days before Halloween, reach out to your neighbors to let them know you will be holding a food drive. Leave them a decorated paper grocery bag and tell them you will be back on Halloween night to collect their bags - encourage them to fill the bags with non-perishable food instead of candy! Remember the bags may get heavy, so make sure to bring a wagon to pull them along.
Costume Contest: Whether it is held at school, work, or a community center, let people know in order to participate in the contest they must bring 5 cans of food. Offer prizes to those who have the funniest, scariest, and most original costumes.
Halloween-Themed Event: It can be a dance, haunted hay ride, trick-or-trunk, or haunted house. Whatever the event may, be let people know the only way to gain entry is to bring at least 5 non-perishable food items.
Move For Hunger can hep your plan, promote and coordinate your food drive!
