FEED Supper is an initiative that encourages fundraising for dinner parties. The campaign targets ordinary people to host get-togethers where guests are asked to make a donation to help the hungry. The organization heading the event, FEED Supper, has already provided 87 million meals for the hungry to date and hopes to increase this number through more creative dinner party initiatives.
FEED Supper provides the necessary party materials for hosts including banners, placemats and name cards with conversation starters on the back. Each guest is given a creative thank you note -- a seed-pack -- which works as a positive reminder of the event but also emphasizes that food scarcity is an ongoing issue that must be addressed.
FEED Supper hopes that by introducing the notion of charity and donation in a fun, engaging environment, people's generosity will continue beyond fundraising dinner parties.
