To help you organise a Feeding the 5000, we have created work stream specific toolkits to help with different responsibilities and roles, with a huge thanks to the Rockefeller Foundation for both funding and partnering in the project.
How to gather around 2200lbs of food that would otherwise have been wasted, starting with 1700lbs of fresh produce.How to arrange for teams of volunteers and coordinators to help with all aspects of the event from promotion, food collection, chopping, stewarding, set-up and social media.
How to bring together all key organisations working on food waste and more into a steering committee, to identify what they would like to get out of the event and maximise impact after the event.How to organise a Disco Chop? These are fun gatherings that can be held by anyone, anywhere. A group come together to chop and cook a meal all made from food that would have otherwise been wasted, whilst a DJ is offering tunes to dance to the whole way through. This toolkit is for those organising a small scale event or organizing a food preparation event for a big feast!
How to utilize the resources available to you to arrange event logistics.How to establish a consensus and receive partner sign-off on a communications plan, including key messages, a press release, and associated materials
How to build a schedule of activities, key speakers, and engaging happenings for your event to keep the event participatory and a celebration!How to agree a menu and how food will be processed, cooked and served.
