Third party fundraising
Individuals, families, organizations and businesses are invited to create their own fundraising events with The Food Sharing Project as the beneficiary. There are lots of ideas, from a simple donation in honor of someone’s birthday, to a pledge campaign where donors support the organizer’s goal.
The Food Sharing Project can help you have a successful fundraiser. We created a
Third Party Event Toolkit to help you plan and execute your fundraiser. The Toolkit
includes simple step-by-steps guides to developing your fundraising event. It also
includes a list of Fundraising Ideas, some Key Messages to help you tell your story,
info on how to set up an Online Fundraiser, and our Third Party Fundraising Guidelines.
We can also supply you with our Fundraising Pop-Up Kit which includes a tablecloth,
table runner with logos, full-size banner stand, table-top signage, and rack cards.
Banners and rack cards include a QR code to reach our Welcome Page, where guests
can Learn More, Donate, or Volunteer. Depending on the event, we can also supply a
credit/debit card tap unit to collect donations.
Please be sure to contact us before you launch or promote your fundraiser. We want to
ensure our brand identity is consistent, and we really do have ways to help you surpass
your goals. Simply get in touch with us to share your idea, and we’ll go from there.
Funding for the material available here was generously provided by the Ontario Trillium Foundation.

How You Can Help
Thank you, from the bottoms of our bellies.
– JG Simcoe PS Kindergarten studentsWow, look at this food. They really care about us.
– A secondary school student overheard by a teacherHonestly, having the grab and go station in the school just helps me make it to class.
– Secondary school studentI don’t know why, but math is easier after I have something to eat.
– Elementary studentI saw the student putting a few extra cartons of milk in his backpack, so I gently asked why, and he said he was taking it for his siblings because, "school is the only place we can get fresh milk."
– Secondary school teacher“Just a note to say thank you and your helpers for all you have done for myself and my family. You don’t have to do anymore I think we will be okay for now.”
