Change The World One Lunch At A Time!
On October 21, 2009, Table to Table kicks off Bag a Lunch, Help a Bunch, a one-day initiative uniting Northern New Jersey companies, schools and individuals in the fight against hunger. Now in its fourth year, the Bag a Lunch campaign demonstrates the collective power of thousands of small donations. An especially appealing philanthropic initiative for companies and schools, Bag a Lunch allows co-workers and students to work together to alleviate hunger in their local communities. For one day, participants simply donate to Table to Table what they would normally spend on lunch. "Whether you spend $5 or $25 on lunch, those dollars, multiplied by thousands of participants, can really add up," says Ilene Isaacs, Executive Director. A $10 donation, for example, helps Table to Table deliver over 100 meals! Join us this October to help change the world one lunch at a time.
