Daily Bread's Holiday Challenge
Is a new way for groups of people to cooperate to help those struggling with hunger. It's an online version of passing a hat around to collect funds by reaching out to your co-workers, friends and family. The Holiday Challenge is perfect for companies or community groups who want to share the generous spirit of the holiday season with those less fortunate. It can be used in place of a food drive or to supplement one.
Get your group involved. It's easy!
The challenge requires a champion of the cause, or committee of champions, in each company or group. Your champion just needs to click the button to the right and follow the instructions to register. In a few easy steps, a personalized e-mail will be sent to all the members of your company or group encouraging them to give funds to help hungry children and families through the holidays and beyond.
Set your own goal. Track your success!
You can set your own goal and decide how many families you would like to help over the holidays. For every $100 your group raises Daily Bread can feed five families of four for two to three days. With so many children and families in need every dollar makes a big difference!
Everyone in your group can then see how close you are to your fundraising goal. You can also see how your efforts are contributing to the drive's overall success. You can even compare how you are doing to other organizations and groups!
