Another great way to get involved in the fight against hunger is to organize a food drive. This is particularly effective if you belong to a group where you can get a majority of the members to participate. Our "URGENT NEEDS" list on the home page is the best source of current CAER information.
When deciding on what type of food drive to hold, be sure to consider the make-up of your group, its size, and the interests of your members. They will likely be more proactive if you are collecting something that is of interest to them.
CAER has had groups do PAPER PRODUCTS drives to build up our need for toilet paper, napkins, paper towels, feminine products, diapers, etc. Another group has assembled BIRTHDAY BAGS (including cake mix, frosting, candles and a small gift) for us to distribute to the children of clients throughout the year. Get creative!
