Entrepreneurs Foundation (EF) announces our 2009 Hunger Initiative: an annual campaign to raise awareness and inspire action to end hunger. With the recession increasing demands at food banks by 30%, EF encourages companies to support local food banks with a workplace food drive and fundraising campaign during this winter season. EF’s “DO ONE THING” guide has been updated and enhanced with a variety of ideas, opportunities and resources for companies to take part in the effort to alleviate hunger.

Contact a Food Bank in your region for information and resources for organizing a workplace food drive, fund drive, and employee volunteer activities.
• Second Harvest Food Bank – San Mateo, Santa Clara Counties
• San Francisco Food Bank
• Alameda County Community Food Bank
• Marin Community Food Bank
• Other regions can locate local food banks through Feeding America
(formerly named America’s Second Harvest)

Connect with others on EF’s social network, EFCommunity, to share your hunger initiative plans and follow us on Twitter @EFConnections for hunger-related news and opportunities throughout the initiative.
