We all know that times are tough right now.  Maybe times are tough for you personally.

We’re hearing from many of our long-term donors lately who have lost their jobs in this difficult economy.  They’ve been generous supporters of Feed The Children in the past, and now find themselves in a position of need. 

But their spirits aren’t broken.  And many of them, despite their own hardships, still want to help Feed The Children reach more hungry and hurting children.

“I don’t have much money right now,” they say, “but what can I do to help?”

Lots of things, really.  We appreciate all the ways our donors support us, whether it be through cash donations or by raising awareness for the cause.  Here are just a few ways you can help support our mission, even in hard times:

1)     Raise Awareness Through Social Media
Join us on Facebook, MySpace or Twitter and let your friends know why you believe in Feed The Children.

2)     Watch and Share a Video About Our Work

Visit our YouTube page, watch brief videos about our work and then forward your favorite video to your friends. 

3)     Good Old Fashioned Word-of-Mouth

You don’t have to be tech-savvy to help.  Just tell your friends about the work we do, and why you support it.

4)     Start a Fundraising Project

You many not personally have much money to donate right now, but if you can think of a creative fundraising idea, you can start a fundraising project in your community to benefit Feed The Children. 

Your support, whether monetary or a gift of your time, energy or influence, is invaluable to us.
