Examples of Work Efforts

It's up to you what work you take on, but it should be something that benefits your community in some way or another. 

-Serve a meal at a soup kitchen.

-Tutor younger students.

-Volunteer at a hospital or make "feel better" cards for sick kids.

-Donate clothes that you've out grown.

-Donate canned food.

-Help an elderly neighbor with some house work. 

Once you've lined up your work effort, find friends or family to "sponsor" your work by making a donation to WILL WORK FOR FOOD. We suggest sending them our predrafted "Get Sponsors" email.

Send us any pictures of your work efforts to admin@willworkforfood.org with a brief description and we'll share them with everyone here!
