LMD Ideas

1. A Campaign - At your request, a kit will be delivered to your office containing Lunch Money Day posters, stickers, collection cans and brown paper bags, all free of charge. On February 26, 2009, ask employees to donate to Second Harvest the money that they would have spent on lunch. Volunteers within the company can circulate around the office and collect donations in the collection cans.

2. A Company Sponsored Lunch - The Lunch Money Day representative in your company organizes a company sponsored staff lunch (e.g. pizza party, hot dog lunch, etc.). Management buys the lunch, and staff make a donation to partake in the meal.

3. An Office Casual Day - Prior to Lunch Money Day, staff pay $5 each for the opportunity to dress casually on Lunch Money Day.

4. Sell Lunch Money Day Raffle Tickets - Stay tuned for a complete listing of this year's raffle prizes.

5. Individual Donations - You can visit our website at secondharvest.ca and make a secure online donation using a credit card, or call our office at 416-408-2594.
