Tools and Tips

Here are some more great tools and tips to create a great campaign.

Have fun. Raise money. Help your community.

We’ve got lots of ways to make your Hero campaign a rewarding, engaging and successful experience for your workplace, school, or community group.

Corporate matching

Many companies have a donation matching initiative for employees who fundraise. Ask your employer if there’s a matching program at your workplace. Since every dollar raised provides two meals for those in need, every matched dollar can allow your campaign to feed twice as many people. For more information, contact us.
