Giving Tuesday Templates for Food Insecurity Nonprofits

Idea 1

📬 Notes of Kindness

Supporters write short messages to someone you serve. A sponsor gives $5 per note (up to your cap), funding meals while spreading hope.

Idea 2

🧺 Equip-a-Kit Drive

Let donors fund pre-set kits (meals, hygiene, snacks). Show a live counter, collect donations by level ($25/$75/$150), and host an optional packing meetup.

Idea 3

🍲 Recipe for Impact

Run a 24-hour recipe auction. Buy-it-now pricing makes it fast; each bid funds your food programs. Cooks handle delivery or pickup.

Idea 4

🤝 Meal Match Challenge

Create a "Meal Match" challenge where donors pledge to match meals served. Set a goal (like 500 meals), track progress live, and celebrate when matched.

Idea 5

🥣 Virtual Empty Bowl

Host a virtual "Empty Bowl" event. Supporters eat simple meals at home, donate what they'd spend dining out, and share photos using your hashtag.

Idea 6

🛒 Grocery Cart Campaign

Launch a "Grocery Cart" campaign. Donors fund specific grocery lists ($15 breakfast, $30 lunch, $50 dinner) with real-time tracking of items "purchased."
