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.
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.
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!!

Matching Funds - Inform your employees that you will match their donations to Sauk Prairie Against Hunger
Sponsorship Pledges - Ask friends, family, classmates, & coworkers to sponsor the meals that you will pack during the event.
Hang up Donation Tags - Could promote to your customers & employees to make a donation and have them sign their name to a SPAH certificate to display in a prominent place in your business.
SPAH Donation Cans - Ask your business, church, class, club, or any organization you're involved in to put out a donation can in a prominent place to promote the pack event & collect donations.
Team Pack - Bring a full or partial team (of staff or members) to the pack event and pack meals together. 2 hr pack, 15-20 people, $1,000 suggested donation to sponsor all the meals your team will pack. To learn more & get a form to register your team
