- 1. Reach Out and Feed Someone!
- 2. Why Does It Resonate To Me? This topic has always been a great passion of mine because my family has been in situations where they needed help themselves. I hate seeing children and adults dying over not having enough money to provide their families with nutritious food and water. After becoming more informed of the possibilities that are out there to help end poverty and hunger, I wonder why we haven’t followed through with them and have gotten further into the process of lowering the percentage of families experiencing poverty and hunger. As a community I believe we are able to help eachother out tremendously if we put in the work and start donating what we can.
- 3. How Can This Be Applied Locally? ● Donating to food banks or to schools ● Providing public education ● Community gardens ● Having a ‘Free Pantry’ box outside of your house so that people in the neighborhood can donate food or hygiene products while also being able to provide to those in need in the community
- 4. Where Can You Personally Make The Greatest Contribution? ● Donating to organizations (End Poverty Now, Concern Worldwide, Feeding America, etc.) ● Donating any food items that are in my pantry to those in need, making sure the food is not expired ● Volunteering ● Making a weekly or monthly (whatever works best financially for the person) visit to well known places where myself and a group of people can bring the homeless or just anyone food, drinks, snacks, and hygiene products
- 5. Is There a Feature of Social Media That Can Be Uniquely Applied To This Goal? There are many social media organizations that are available for anyone to donate. Some of the organizations give people the opportunity to volunteer. Other big platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram can be used to spread awareness to those in need. Any one of these platforms can use hashtags, which can help spread the message because so many people are involved with social media which can make it easier for the word to be reached to a variety of people that can possibly help.
