Opportunities
To Help 1. Start with yourself and ask God to work through you in helping with some of the areas listed on Project Hunger's website. If you are not from Grand Island, NE or the surrounding area, talk to some of your friends and find a way to get started like Project Hunger did. There are many ways to act, it's no secret. 2. Be aware that one out of every five throughout the world has less than one meal a day to live on and that God has provided ample food for everyone if we will only share. 3. Remember that you are not alone; countless others are willing to help, especially if they are asked. 4. Don't feel sorry for those in need; consider them an extension of yourself. Besides, who ever did much for someone they felt sorry for? 5. Remember that the needs of others can be lightened if there is a desire to help along with a plan of action. 6. Start and maintain a Food Bucks program in your area; it won’t get started until you take action. 7. Work as a team with others who share your desires to assist those in need. Don't try to do things by yourself. 8. Start a savings method yourself to help others and daily contribute to it. When you see that the nest egg has grown, put it to use before you change your mind and spend it on yourself. 9. Develop a DVD brochure to show others the needs of your community and how your team is addressing those needs. 10. Create a speaker's bureau to share with the community opportunities to help you in your efforts. Remember, helping others is contagious. 11. Ask your local media sources (newspaper, radio and TV) to help share your planned events with the community.
12. Ask for help and support from your area churches, schools, civic
clubs and groups along with keeping governmental authorities informed
of your goals and efforts. |
