Help Pioneers Dish It Up Go Viral!


Help us reach our goal of feeding 1 million people by going viral! Our first ever International Centennial project, Dish It Up, is well under way in over 45 states and provinces across the US and Canada. Please help us meet our goal!  Here is your chance to participate in some quick and easy micro volunteering opportunities!

Complete one or more of these activities each day for the next (and last!) 7 days of the project:
  • Send this email to 10 people and ask them to participate in helping Pioneers Dish It Up go viral!
  • Post a link to the project on your personal and/or Pioneers unit’s Facebook page and ask your friends and family to “like” it and repost
  • Share some of the heartbreaking statistics with your online community about hunger (i.e. "50.2 million Americans struggle with hunger and 17.2 million of them are children." Visit the Feeding America web site.  Or, “38% of those helped by Canadian Food Banks are children and youth.”  See the Food Banks of Canada website.)
  • Share these moving Hunger Counts videos and request support for Dish It Up through volunteer time, food, or funds.
  • Tweet on how your community is participating
  • Tweet and update Facebook while you are at a Dish It Up event
  • Email your friends and family and ask them to help spread the word
  • Share with your connections on LinkedIn
  • Include project information as your next blog post
  • Post pictures and videos from your project as it is happening or right after on Facebook, Twitter, your website, blog, etc.
  • Text 5 friends and ask them to participate with you
  • “Like” Pioneers a Volunteer Network on Facebook
And finally, remember to join Pioneers in your community from now to the 25th for special events as we wrap up our Dish It Up project and feed 1 million people.
