About Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin
About NBC15 Share Your Holidays to eliminate hunger
2015 marks the 20th year for NBC15 Share Your Holidays to eliminate hunger.
Our goal is to raise 3 million meals for families and individuals struggling
with hunger. Since its inception in 1996, southwestern Wisconsin’s largest
food/fund drive campaign has raised nearly 30 million meals.
NBC15 Share Your Holidays offers a myriad of fun events and
opportunities for corporations, organizations, schools and individuals to
raise funds, food and awareness for hunger relief.
The campaign launched in 1996 with the vision of the late NBC15
News Anchor Mike McKinney, who grew up in a low-income household
where food wasn’t always available, for community members to help
their neighbors facing hunger. NBC15 teamed up with Second Harvest
Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin and the Wisconsin National Guard
and, in the first year, collected enough food and funds to provide
46,000 meals to those in need.
Twenty years later, emergency food assistance demands have greatly
increased. In fact, Second Harvest Foodbank is meeting nearly one
million requests for help each year. With your help, we can raise more
meals for families at risk of hunger!
Second Harvest Foodbank of Southern Wisconsin began working with
local hunger-relief agencies in 1986. It helps end hunger in 16
southwestern Wisconsin counties through food distribution to its
partner agencies, promotion of outside food assistance programs like
FoodShare, and raising awareness of hunger.
As southwestern Wisconsin’s largest hunger-relief charity it meets
nearly one million requests for help each year. From July 1, 2014 to
June 30, 2015 Second Harvest, together with its partner agencies and
programs, provided 12.2 million meals.
It is one of 200 members of Feeding America, the nation’s leading
domestic hunger-relief charity. For more information, visit
SecondHarvestMadison.org.
Hunger At A Glance

• Ranked #37 amongst Second Harvest’s top food donors last year, if

• Was supported by 56 corporate sponsors, 371 businesses, 10 schools
and hundreds of families and individuals.
• Provided 540,000 meals from corporate financial sponsors alone, that’s

Businesses - Successful Food/Fund Drive FAQs
What dates should our food/fund drive run?
This year’s NBC15 Share Your Holidays food/fund drives officially run
from the week of November 2 through the week of November 30, but
you may select any dates from October 1 – December 31.
Remember: If you’re eligible for and requesting barrel and cash jar
delivery and/or pick-up, your drive dates must fit within the assigned
delivery and pick-up timeframe. Learn more on page 6.
To be eligible for “Top Business” recognition during the NBC15 Share Your
Holidays Grand Finale, Second Harvest MUST receive your total dollars
and pounds of food by 4 p.m. on December 4. However, all businesses
reporting totals by December 31 will be included in the campaign’s final
meal count and the Businesses Fighting Hunger Honor Roll.
Can donations collected at a different time of year count?
Thank you for all donations made outside the NBC15 Share Your
Holidays period and for understanding they’re ineligible for recognition.
Why should we set a goal? And how?
A goal is a great motivator. Plan to collect a certain number of meals,
dollars or pounds. Second Harvest can provide 3 meals for every
$1 donated, so a goal of $200 is equivalent to 600 meals. The U.S.
Department of Agriculture estimates 1.2 pounds of food makes one
meal, so a goal of 500 pounds is equivalent to 417 meals. Whatever your
goal, keep it achievable and have fun!
How can Matching Gifts increase the impact of our food/fund drive?
Some companies encourage participation by offering to donate
a certain amount if an employee or customer goal is reached. For
example, a goal to collect 500 pounds of food is equivalent to 417
meals (at 1.2 pounds/meal) and your company could match with a cash
donation of $139 ($1=3 meals). Other businesses match employee cash
donations dollar-for-dollar to certain charities. Ask if your leadership
will match employee contributions to Second Harvest and visit
SecondHarvestMadison.org/MatchingGifts to learn more.
When the food/fund drive is over, is that it?
No! Schedule a recap meeting and make notes for next year: what
worked well, what you’d do differently and what great ideas arose after
your drive began that you didn’t get to implement. This is also a time for
celebration!
11
What are the best ways to motivate participation, maximize donations
and have fun?
There are SO many ways to conduct a drive and motivate employees,
vendors and customers to join in. What will it take? A little friendly
competition? An incentive? Use your creativity! Here are a few ideas:
;; Virtual Food Drive: As your organization’s
Food/Fund Drive Coordinator, streamline
your fundraising with a Team Donation Page.
Learn more on page 3 and get started at
SecondHarvestMadison.org/SYHVirtual.
;; Fundraisers: Hold a bake sale or potluck. Allow
employees who donated a casual dress or jeans day. Structure a competition
or challenge between departments, floors or locations. Collect spare change
desk to desk. Invite employees and customers to throw a pie at their boss or
customer service person in exchange for a donation. Do a leadership jail and
bail. Suggest employees brown-bag-it and donate the amount they would’ve
spent on a restaurant lunch. If considering a raffle, you need a license from
the State of Wisconsin Department of Administration’s Division of Gaming:
http://doa.wi.gov/divisions/gaming/charitable-gaming/raffle-license
;; Food Drive Themes: Create excitement and encourage donations of most
needed items. Do a drive for breakfast (cereal and canned fruit) or “brown
bag” healthy kids’ lunches or with peanut butter and jelly. Or incorporate
days of the week in your theme such as Morning Monday and Tin Can
Tuesday.
;; Market Your Food/Fund Drive: NBC15 Share Your Holidays posters and cash
donation container labels are available, and more marketing tools can be
downloaded at SecondHarvestMadison.org/SYHToolkit. Use your company
email, intranet, bulletin board, newsletter and paycheck inserts to spread the
word.
;; Show Your Team’s Progress: Make a giant pie chart to represent a dinner
plate to track the number of meals collected. A cash donation of $1 provides
3 meals. One meal equals 1.2 pounds of food so, for example, 500-pound
goal is equivalent to 417 meals.
;; Prizes or Incentives Spark Competition: Reward participants with special
treats, corporate identity clothing, a jeans day, a half-day off with pay,
or a week to sleep in an extra hour or leave an hour early. Get prizes or
discounted services from other companies to urge participation. Retail
and service businesses may offer free or discounted services to encourage
customer participation.
;; Special Events & Competition: create enthusiasm for your drive with a
kick-off event or a little friendly competition among classes. Invite your local
newspaper and town officials to participate in newsworthy events. Share
your event with Second Harvest, and NBC15 could send a camera crew to
cover it. Complete and fax the form on page 16 to Second Harvest.

K-12 Schools - Successful Food/Fund Drive FAQs
What dates should our food/fund drive run?
This year’s NBC15 Share Your Holidays food/fund drives officially run from
the week of November 2 through the week of November 30, but you may
select any dates from October 1 – December 31.
Remember: If you’re eligible for and requesting barrel and cash jar
delivery and/or pick-up, your drive dates must fit within the assigned
delivery and pick-up timeframe. Learn more on page 6.
To be eligible for “Top School” recognition during the NBC15 Share Your
Holidays Grand Finale, Second Harvest MUST receive your total dollars
and pounds of food by 4 p.m. on December 4. However, all schools
reporting totals by December 31 will be included in the campaign’s final
meal count and the Schools Fighting Hunger Honor Roll.
Can donations collected at a different time of year count?
Thank you for all donations raised outside the NBC15 Share Your
Holidays period and for understanding they’re ineligible for recognition.
Who will lead our school’s food/fund drive?
Any club, organization, class or group of students interested in
community service and committed to leading an event can organize a
successful food/fund drive. Students will plan, promote and implement
the drive. Consider a Food/Fund Drive Committee. Some high schools
“adopt” an elementary or middle school and provide leadership to help
younger students get involved in this service project.
Why should we set a goal? And how?
A goal is a great motivator. Plan to collect a certain number of meals,
dollars or pounds. The U.S. Department of Agriculture estimates 1.2
pounds of food makes one meal, so a goal of 500 pounds is equivalent
to 417 meals. Second Harvest can provide 3 meals for every $1 donated,
so a goal of $200 is equivalent to 600 meals. Whatever your goal, keep
it achievable and have fun!
What logistics should we consider?
• Will you use boxes, grocery bags, borrowed grocery carts – and from
where? (Make sure you will be able to lift the boxes when full.)
• Where will the containers be located when the drive is in progress?
Donations should be kept dry, at room temperature and secure.
• Will the collection containers need to be emptied periodically?
• Where will the food/money be stored until the end of the drive?
• Does the food and money need to be secured overnight?
• If collecting for a local food pantry, how will the food be delivered?
• Could a class hour be dedicated for food/fund drive collection?
• Could a volunteer experience at Second Harvest Foodbank or the
food pantry you’re supporting be scheduled?
13
How should we promote the food/fund drive?
Use your creativity to build enthusiasm and motivate fellow students
to get involved. Identify all the methods available to you to develop a
promotional plan and get the word out. Here are a few ideas:
;; Themes: generate excitement and encourage donations of most
needed items. They also spark ideas for promotional posters,
announcements, and student and/or parent newspaper articles or
ads. Create excitement and encourage donations of most needed
items. Do a drive for breakfast (cereal and canned fruit) or “brown
bag” healthy kids’ lunches or with peanut butter and jelly. Or
incorporate days of the week in your theme such as Morning Monday
and Tin Can Tuesday.
;; Show Your Team’s Progress: Make a giant pie chart to represent a
dinner plate to track the number of meals collected. A cash donation
of $1 provides 3 meals. One meal equals 1.2 pounds of food so, for
example, 500-pound goal is equivalent to 417 meals.
;; Special Events & Competition: create enthusiasm for your drive with
a kick-off event or a little friendly competition among classes. Invite
your local newspaper and town officials to participate in newsworthy
events. Share your event with Second Harvest, and NBC15 could
send a camera crew to cover it. Complete and fax the form on page
16 to Second Harvest.
;; Publicity: NBC15 Share Your Holidays posters and cash container
labels are available (request on enclosed Participation Form)
or create posters customized to your school. Use school
announcements and school and community newspapers to promote,
report results and thank all supporters when your drive is over.
Schools outside Madison often have great success getting
local newspaper coverage. Schools in Madison may find it more
challenging because there are so many schools; unique events to
promote your drive may help. If you want the media to cover an
event, submit a press release 1-2 weeks before the event date so
they can put it on their calendars.
When the food/fund drive is over, is that it?
No! Schedule a recap meeting and make notes for next year: what worked
well, what you’d do differently and what great ideas arose after your drive
began that you didn’t get to implement. This is also a time to celebrate
and feel pride in your leadership, volunteerism and school spirit!
