Background

We are an NGO dedicated to food rescue and assistance, and we will be celebrating our 10th anniversary next year. To commemorate this important milestone and raise funds to support our work, we are seeking creative and experienced volunteers to help us conceptualize and plan a series of special events throughout the year.

What we have

Information about our organization's mission, values, and past activities. Any constraints or preferences we may have (e.g., budget limitations, target demographics).Ongoing support and feedback throughout the planning process.

Why this is important

This 10th anniversary celebration project will significantly advance Food Commons Foundation's mission by raising awareness about food waste and rescue efforts. The series of events will serve as a platform to educate the public about the environmental impact of food waste and the importance of redistribution. By showcasing our decade-long efforts, we can attract more partners and stakeholders, strengthening our network for food collection and redistribution.The events will highlight our innovative approaches to reducing waste. This increased visibility can lead to more volunteers, donors, and supporters, expanding our capacity to collect and redistribute food. Furthermore, the project can showcase the positive impact of our initiatives, potentially inspiring similar efforts elsewhere.By engaging diverse communities through these events, we can encourage wider participation in food rescue efforts, moving beyond a single funding source and fostering a community-driven approach to tackling food waste. Ultimately, this project will amplify our impact, helping us reduce waste, combat environmental pollution, and assist more people in need throughout our service areas.
