Open to spreading the word
- Call or write at least one elected official asking them to support nutrition programs in your community.

Doing what you can to help
- Donate at least $5 per month to an anti-hunger organization (find anti-hunger organizations at ColoradoGives.org or go through your company’s workplace giving program). Or, in lieu of gifts for your birthday, wedding, anniversary or any special day, ask others to donate to an anti-hunger organization in your honor.
- Volunteer at least 12 hours with an anti-hunger organization in your community (find volunteer opportunities in Colorado).
- Support or sponsor an anti-hunger event in your community (examples: host a book club or film screening focused on hunger; community gardens, produce for pantries, food drive, marathon team).
