Ideas to do as a Family - Keep the Change - Pay for everything you can in cash for the next week, and keep the change in a jar. It adds up quickly!
- Sponsorship Pledges - Ask friends, family, classmates, & coworkers to sponsor the meals that you will pack during the event. (Click here to download a pledge form.)
- Potatoes for Dinner - Serve your family only potatoes for dinner one night and gain a better understanding of what a meal is like for many hungry families around the world. Put the money you saved on that meal toward your donation.
- Skip the Soda - When you eat out, drink water instead of soda. Put the savings in your donation jar.
- Coin tubes - You can request SPAH coin tubes to collect your coins in. To request a tube call: 608-658-4700 or email: jramthun@gmail.com
- Bake Sale - One young girl invested $75 in baking supplies & raised $1,000 from selling cookies & brownies
- Purchase a SPAH T-shirt - Buy a T-shirt (we have children, adults, & Women style shirts) With the purchase of each shirt you sponsor 50 meals. This is a great way to promote SPAH & feed starving children! You can buy a shirt at the Pack Event or year round at 6:8!!
