Fall Service Resource Hub
“I serve because hunger IS present in my hometown.
Sometimes we may forget because it doesn’t directly impact us,
but the families that are struggling don’t have the option to forget.
It is always present in their lives, and we have the tools to change that.”
Fall Service unites Ambassadors, Alumni, and our hometowns in a shared vision — that this year, every community member will be able to enjoy a holiday season of nourishment and joy. To accomplish this, Fall Service Leadership Academy will equip Ambassadors & Alumni with eighth weeks of training, knowledge, and skills-building, as we lead up to Fall Service food drives. Our service mission is to support hometown Food Pantries all across the state through food drives, fundraising, advocacy, and volunteer engagement — you can focus on one outcome, or all four! By your efforts and example, you'll help ensure your neighbors, family, friends, and classmates are nourished and cared for this holiday season.
Through SLA, we'll learn more about the complex issues of food insecurity, root causes, and proven solutions. And, will be inspired and motivated through discussions with special guests and leaders in the fight against hunger. As always, we'll be powered by hope and dedicated to transformational change.
Because we believe that every child -- every family -- deserves the resources, nourishment, and opportunities to grow, learn, and thrive.
“I serve because we have the resources to end hunger. We just need people to unite to take the initiative.”

Elementary Engagement
Elementary engagement is a key strategy for building a community-wide ethic of service and inspiring the next generation of Ambassadors in your community! It provides you with an opportunity to learn new skills and build important knowledge. “Service learning” is something you do every day with Project 351—combine learning with leading. Elementary engagement invites you to make those “wow” moments possible for K-5 students!
