Four Ways to Keep Taking Action

I’d like to thank all the Volunteers who dedicate their time on Monday nights to help us provide meals for our friends in Downtown Orlando. We greatly appreciate your support and for truly setting the example for being the change we wish to see in the world. A lot of people ask us what they can do next, or some may want to get more involved, but don’t know how. Here is what you can do to continue making a difference in our local community:

1. Support Other Food Sharings:
We all provide meals to the same people. Let’s show our friends we are there on more nights than just Monday’s. Here is a schedule of all the Lake Eola Food Sharings.

Monday – Breakfast with Food Not Bombs 8:30am (corner of Central and Eola)
Monday – Dinner with Rock for Hunger 6:45pm at the Forum
Wednesday – Dinner with Food Not Bombs 5pm (Corner of Central and Eola)
Thursday – Dinner with NOMSA 6:30pm at the Forum

2. Start a Food Sharing:

See the schedule above? There are lots of gaps. Breakfast and Dinner are the times when people are most in need of food. Ask us how to start your own food sharing. All you need is 4 cooks, and 4 volunteer coordinators. That is the way we have found to make it work. E-mail Chris for more info to starting a food sharing: chris@rockforhunger.org.

3. Take on a Leadership Role

The following are committee’s within Rock for Hunger we need people to get involved with:

Rock for Hunger Fest 4 Committee:
Plan our annual Rock for Hunger Festival taking place in October this year. Contact Lisa for all the info: ldunaway@cfl.rr.com.

Food Sharing Committee:
Bring your ideas to make Monday nights run smoother, recruit people to start a second night or even a breakfast. Contact Ben or Chris for more info: bbergholtz@rockforhunger.org and chris@rockforhunger.org.

Dream Center Committee:
Help make someone’s dream a reality while helping them back on their feet at the same time. We are currently working on fundraising programs, budgets, and business planning to open our first Dream Center in Orlando, FL. Contact Chris for more info: chris@rockforhunger.org.

Internship Committee:
Our Interns need some great mentors with real life experience. The interns meet every Wednesday night and we have four teams they represent. Nonprofit Management, Marketing, Creative (Web, Graphics, Film, etc), and Event Planning. Contact Chris for more info: chris@rockforhunger.org.

Field Trips:
Help with the organizing, planning, and fundraising for field trips for less fortunate children in our community. For more info contact Chris (LoL we need some directors pronto): chris@rockforhunger.org.

4. Giving

For any organizations to continue expanding and existing they need funds. We are working hard on building up our donor list and already have over 100 individuals who are donors to Rock for Hunger.
