Spread the word about this community-wide effort! Here are two easy ways to increase your impact:
Start a neighborhood effort. Print Bag-A-Thon flyers (PDF, 8.5″ x 11″) and distribute them to neighbors or friends. Collect their donations and bring them to an ICS location when you bring your own.
Have a workplace food drive. Print the Bag-A-Thon mini-poster (PDF, printable on standard 11″ x 17″ paper) to hang in the break room, along with a collection box or bags. Set a company goal and challenge your colleagues to meet it. At the end of the month, bring the food to an ICS location.
