Anyone who knows us should know we have a love of service and especially at our local food bank! I’ve been working with our local church congregations’ Season of Service and making posters to get the word out and inspire others! The photos for these posters are copyrighted to a friend of mine but feel free to make your own versions! These were really great to share online with friends!! In addition to the finished posters I’m including several that are unfinished ideas, and some other puny ideas I’ve yet to get to paper.
For church we printed these as large posters, regular sized paper print-offs that were posted randomly around the church buildings and classrooms with new ones added each week, printed small versions to put onto bags handed out to neighbors, shared them on FB with a link to the main website or to a virtual drive on the food bank website, and included a QR code for those who wanted to donate quickly to the virtual fund. My emphasis was that EVERYONE can help.
If it’s One Can, One Dollar, One Minute (to ask a friend or share a link), or One Prayer
Anyone and everyone can help fight hunger!!
Like our ideas? Give us a High-five by donating to our Virtual Food drive!

May i use your posters for a food drive
ReplyDeleteHi, we are looking to do a food drive at our preschool and love your One can, who can poster. Do you have a contact that we can request for the poster to be printed for our preschool. I think this theme would be perfect for the kids. Thanks so much for posting, great ideas. Shirley
ReplyDeleteWe are having a Service activity and would like to use your Luv and pampers poster. Do you have a contact name for that particular poster? We appreciate your wonderful ideas.
ReplyDeleteI would also like to re-purpose some of these posters for an annual food drive that I organize in our county that benefits over a dozen food pantries in our area. Would that be possible? If so, I can be reached at dowalker@pershing.com. Thank you!!!
ReplyDeleteWould I be able to use some of your poster for a canned food drive I will be hosting at my job.
ReplyDeleteThis is amazing! Our local community food bank is almost empty so my children are hosting a food drive/lemon-AID stand. These food puns are going to be PERFECT yard signs to raise awareness. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas. They will help many others!
