Resident Assistant .com - Feed the Hungry

Description:

This program works great, my floor really liked it. I put up signs a few weeks in advance that I would be collecting canned/non-perishable food items, and donating them to a food bank. Then I set a box up in my hallway to put the cans in. At the meeting I talked about what a serious problem hunger was, and presented them with "scary" facts about it, and then a few days later, we donated the cans to a local shelter. It was a huge success. A lot of cans were collected, and my residents said they learned a lot.

Instructions/Things Needed:

facts about hunger &/or homelessness
a box to put cans in

Other Considerations:

This program works especially well if you advertise it before a long week-end or break, because residents can go home and get canned food!
