Then contact me and please tell me: 1) To what extent can you help? Specific tasks include: a) Ask friends and family to donate b) Make a monetary contribution. Note FD for Equality when you donate online. c) Host a Food Collection Barrel in your office or business location! d) Pick up donations and take them to the food bank e) Generate publicity - Radio, newspapers, blogs, word-of-mouth, videos, etc. f) If you own a business that caters directly to the public, you could place fliers in your store. I bet business owners have several great ideas on how they can help. also see item c Any amount of help is welcome. It doesn't have to be anything high tech or sophisticated. Sending me an email like this would be awesome: "Hey Cole, I don't have a lot of time but I will send out emails and tell all my friends and family about the Equality Food Drive. So keep me informed and I'll help spread the word!" Spreading the word is vital to our success so please do not underestimate how important you are to our cause. Our first step is to get organized. Toward that end, I will will schedule an evening for us to meet if need be. We will also use email, text, Facebook, etc. to communicate and coordinate.  |  Q: Is this a national effort? A: Yes. Please see the National Food Drive for Equality page Q: Why a national LGBT (&Allies) Food Drive for Equality? A: See the answer here on Impact Humboldt Blog. Q: Do I have to be gay or lesbian to help? A: No, in fact our hope is that 50% of the volunteers for the food drive will be allies (people who do not identify themselves as Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, or Queer). ~~~~~ Q: What is the relationship between this Equality Food Drive and the Light Up The Night (LUTN) event on December 20? A: The last day of the Food Drive is December 20.* That night we will gather at the Bayshore Mall for a peaceful, candlelight vigil. Visit the National Food Drive page and the National LUTN page for general information. *As originally envisioned, December 20 would be the day all the food would be collected and transported to the Food For People food bank. However, we were told that saving the food up wouldn't be the most helpful plan for the food bank. So food will be tracked and given to the food back possibly before the 20th and, most importantly, to our fellow citizens who need the food.  |
Why a National LGBT (& Allies) Food Drive for Equality?
In the spirit of this holiday season, JoinTheImpact invites you to join us for the season of giving and come together under the banner of that which unites us all: Love. Let us go above and beyond. Let us set aside our own struggles, our own needs, to demonstrate to the nation and the world the collective power of the LGBTQ community to be a force of betterment for all society. We will rise above the divisions to recognize that we are all human, we are all working to carve out a space for ourselves in the world, and we all want the same simple opportunities.
Beginning on November 28th, 2008 and going until we Light Up the Night for Equal Rights on December 20th, JoinTheImpact is launching the first national LGBTQ Food Drive for Equality! Through this event, we will work to reach out not only to those who have worked alongside us, but to organizations and individuals that fear us and oppose our cause. Our efforts to alleviate the hunger America is facing in this difficult time will be indiscriminate with regards to creed or political philosophy. These are gaps we can and must bridge if we are going to achieve equality in this country
. So on Saturday, Dec. 20th, leading up to our LUTN vigil, each city will be organizing a massive charitable effort to demonstrate the positive impact the LGBT community can make. The effort has already begun in Cleveland, OH, so look to JoinTheImpact.com for a step by step model to maximize the impact in your city or region. Join us for this important event, and on Saturday, we will demonstrate the powerful impact the LGBT movement can have in the lives of ordinary Americans.
