WHAT CAN MY COMMUNITY DO?
Consider approaching your community, civic, professional, or religious organizations about participating in or hosting an Oxfam event. Chances are these like-minded individuals share your concern and willingness to help in the fight to end global poverty and hunger. These organizations also have the people and programs in place to more easily plan and conduct fundraising and educational events.
- Host an Oxfam America Hunger Banquet® event
If your organization is looking for a Fast event that will appeal to people of all ages, the Oxfam America Hunger Banquet event, with its unique mix of theatre and reality, is a perfect choice. - Host a pledge event
Build your event around activities that your organization's members have in common. Friends and family members pledge money for every mile walked, lap swam, karate kick "kicked"—be creative! - Hold a special collection
During your church or synagogue’s services, hold an appeal and special collection to benefit Oxfam's work. - Collect donations
Add a discussion of global hunger to the agenda at your organization's next meeting and collect donations from interested members. - Add fliers to your membership mailing
Refer to the Order Form in the Resource section for free educational materials you can send to your organization's mailing list. - Join forces!
Belong to more than one social or religious group? Have the two organizations join forces in a co-sponsored fundraising event in your local community.
