10 Days Until March 24th

Alright, it's time to kick the Day of Hunger effort back into gear! We'll be using both online and offline means to spread the word, so take part in any and every way you can. The effect of the Day of Hunger is directly related to how many people actually get the chance to hear about and participate in it, so get off your keister and advertise! The big effort right now is to publicize the Day of Hunger and what it entails. Here are some ways you can help:

We've designed some quarter-page fliers that can be hung on doors, tacked to bulletin boards, or even handed out. Print off as many copies as you are willing and get them circulating! Four can fit per 8.5" X 11" if you change the margins to .4".

As always, invite all your Facebook friends to participate in the event. As you may have noticed, in order to donate, you pledge your amount on the event page or by emailing dayofhunger@gmail.com, then you donate said amount directly to the World Food Programme.

Facebook can be used in other ways, as well: post links to the blog and FB event on your wall, include and tag Day of Hunger in your status, and set your profile picture as one of the images posted on the blog or event page.

For those of you who have an account, Twitter can be a huge way to get the word out about something. Use the hashtag #dayofhunger to raise awareness of the event, and tweet your support with a link to bring more participants in. Feel free to use the slogan “Put your money where your mouth is” or anything else you can think of.

Thanks again for your participation. Email dayofhunger@gmail.com with questions and suggestions. Only 10 days left!
