EXAMPLE: If you work at a food bank, you may believe the fact that you distribute food via pantries located in neighborhood schools, churches, and community centers is super important.

Sometimes it’s a matter of zeroing in on a single aspect of your organization’s work or an unexpected story, such as two volunteers falling in love while serving soup side-by-side in the homeless shelter’s kitchen.

A key message for a food pantry might be “No one should go hungry and you can help us make sure that our neighbors have a nice dinner for Thanksgiving.”. For example if you need help caring for animals in your shelter until they’re adopted, you can say “Please help provide food and shelter for the 26 animals in our care until they’re adopted.
