How to participate in The Big Social
Once you’ve registered, it’s time to start fundraising! Reach out to your family, friends, colleagues or community to ask for donations.
Let them know why you are passionate about fighting food insecurity and poverty. Share that you want a world where everyone can afford to put good food on the table.
Here’s three ways to take part:
-
Cook: Make something delicious and drop it off to friends or family for a donation.
-
Create: Share your favourite recipe. Make or bake it together with your pod.
-
Connect: Host a dinner party for a good cause and ask your guests to donate.
