How can a Greeting Card Feed a Classroom?
October 29, 2009
It can when you order your seasonal greeting cards from Hungry for Change (Canadian Feed the Children). Driven by volunteers from Canada’s Electrical Industry, Hungry for Change is an ongoing campaign that provides fun opportunities for friends and colleagues to raise funds for vulnerable children around the world, including Canada.
“These
greeting cards are just great,” says Dick Roney, a member of the
fundraising committee. “They’re well-made yet economical, and you can
even order cards with your business logo, so you can really personalize
them.”Anywhere from 47%-70% of the purchase price goes directly to the cause. This means that an order of just 100 blank cards and envelopes represents about 90 meals for Canadian children or 440 meals in Ethiopia, Uganda or Ghana.
Steve Elsdon, another member of the Hungry for Change fundraising committee, adds, “These greeting cards are such a simple yet effective way to make a real difference in a child’s life”.
When you help Hungry for Change (Canadian Feed the Children), you fund nutrition programs for vulnerable children—not just in some far-off African village, but right here at home in Canada, too! However you choose to get involved, you join Canada’s electrical industry in making a world of difference. To be a part of this amazing industry-led campaign, visit www.hungryforchange.ca to learn more, get useful templates and forms, donate and register a fundraising event.
