Joel and Maryann Chat With Students Change Hunger Reps to Learn How You Can Help
Joel and I spent the week speaking with various representatives from the Community Food Bank of New Jersey.
This year, Students Change Hunger may look different for schools but the need is greater than ever. If your school is participating in remote learning, you can still make a difference by hosting a virtual fundraiser or ask students to bring donations directly to our facility.
Register your school now to help New Jersey families in need!
Step 1: Nominate a parent/teacher advisor (teacher, parent, PTA member) to act as the contact person for the program to start the food drive at your school.
Step 2: Register your school by visiting www.studentschangehunger.org
Step 3: Set up your virtual fundraiser by visiting http://give.cfbnj.org/studentschangehunger2020
Step 4: Print out the toolkit from http://cfbnj.org/studentschangehunger
Step 5: Start collecting food and funds!
Please ensure all activities adhere to health and safety information provided by the Governor of New Jersey’s reopening guidelines.
