86PROJECTS
VOLUNTEER
It all begins with a calling. Maybe you want to help children. Maybe you want to Bless families. Or maybe you have an unwavering urge to make your community a better place. Whatever it is, there are MANY ways to fulfill your mission by helping us fulfill ours. If you or your community group want to give back, please browse our CALENDAR page and see what works best for you :)
FOOD GIVEAWAYS
We at 86Hunger LOVE feeding our children in the Backpack Pals program. But what about their families? What about the rest of the hungry? We’ve been Blessed to be able to extend our reach with Blessing Boxes. Occasionally, we hold events to hand out food. There is always a need to pack boxes for these events or staff them. Consider joining us and help feed our neighbors. Events will be posted on the calendar :)
FOOD COLLECTION
There are several ways to collect food for 86Hunger. You can hold a drive at a local store, church, school, or community event. Your group can collect a CERTAIN food item, say Mac & Cheese or Oatmeal. Maybe your group already does a collection and you would like to Bless a new program. We can help you get started with signage and collection boxes if this is for you. It’s a wonderful way to connect with your caring neighbors!
MONETARY COLLECTION
Of course, money is versatile! While we get a massive percentage of our food from donations, we often still come up short. Helping increase our budget lets us purchase the EXACT items that we need to complete our menu. We try to make sure that our recipients get plenty of vitamins and nutrition with each gift. We are very dependent upon the availability of products. At times, we need to make online purchases or pay more than usual. With shortages common, NOW is the time that we need your financial support. Contact us if you need ideas on how to collect funds for 86Hunger.
