What we do:
Start a Donate Don't Dump Chapter: Here's an easy cheat sheet to help you get started - Find a common place of interest to start your club/chapter (school, church, etc.)
- It's recommended starting your chapter with a few club members on board with you
- Talk to an adviser to work out a regular meeting place and time (classroom, conference center, etc.)
- Chapters must meet at least once a month and complete quarterly activities to stay active
- Chapter activities include social media, education, advocacy, volunteering at food banks, food drives, coin drives, etc
- If you are starting a school club, talk to an ASB adviser or school administrator to find out your individual school's process
- Once you have your location and a few chapter members, message us here at Donate Don't Dump. An intern will be assigned to help you out
- Have all chapter members "like" Donate Don't Dump on Facebook and create a status promoting others to join your new chapter and to check out Facebook.com/DonateDontDump
