United Way Takes New Approach to End Summer Hunger Launches Silence the Growl Crowdfunding Campaign #SilenceTheGrowl
United Way of Greater Atlanta is changing the game with
Silence the Growl—its first ever crowdfunding campaign. The purpose
of the crowndfunding campaign is to fight summer hunger among
children who receive federally funded free and reduced meals during
the school year. Throughout the 13-county region, more than 300,000
children run the risk of losing one or more meals each day during the
summer. Over a 30-day period, United Way has a goal to raise $30,000
to provide at least 12,000 more meals to Greater Atlanta’s children
in need. The campaign ends June 6.
“Joining with others, be they individuals or corporations, is something United Way has done for more than 100 years. Through this campaign, we are taking a new approach and challenging the community to be bold and demonstrative in their commitment to end summer hunger for our children,” says United Way of Greater Atlanta President and CEO Milton J. Little, Jr.
Little
continues, “Crowdfunding is a new way for us to engage with our
supporters on issues that matter not only to them, but to the entire
community. We are asking our volunteers and donors to spread the word
to at least 10 friends to help end summer hunger. During the summer,
children should not have to worry about where to find food. Instead,
they should have fun learning how to swim, breaking summer reading
records or participating in science camp.”
United
Way is asking the community to join the crowd and fund this
initiative by using their social media platforms to spread the word.
By visiting silencethegrowl.org, supporters can sign up and donate as
little as $5—which is the cost of two nutritious lunches. In
addition, the campaign site provides a gallery with a variety of
images and infographics to share via social media.
