Our community is great about coming together for a good cause. We also like to have fun. The Shoestring Mktg Scavenger Hunt is a project put together by Shoestring Mktg to show clients how to duplicate promotions that help local charities. I've chosen a Scavenger Hunt to benefit the New Hope Food Pantry which is a Harvesters agency that delivers free food to Johnson County residents in need. For more information regarding the New Hope Food Pantry happenings, visit their blog site at http://bit.ly/NHFPblg or visit the website at http://bit.ly/NHpantry .
Scavengers collect points for "obtaining the clue". Clues are obtained by following the online action. Clues are items like follow the Food Pantry blog, or share the Shoestring Mktg Scavenger Hunt graphic on Facebook. Bonus Clues will be handed out during the ongoing promotion which are higher point value clues. Scavengers tally their clues obtained on the scorecard including any Bonus Clues they obtained and email completed scorecard to Caylon@ShoestringMktg.net before midnight on 5/31/14. Each point counts as a chance into a drawing for prizes and prize packages, like a $50 Visa gift card, coffee packages, wine packages, BBQ package and other great prizes.
Raising awareness is not only about getting donations in, but about directing those who need help to resources available in our community. Last Saturday, at the Harvesters Mobile Food Pantry, 220 families consisting of 487 children, 489 adults & 90 seniors were given perishable items including produce, dairy and breads. Pictured right is the director of the Food Pantry, Jim Linker, on the roof looking down at the cars in line at a Mobile Food Pantry. Check out how the cars are lined up and down the street out front too. We don't always think of hunger in Johnson County, but it's here.
If you would like to get involved in the Shoestring Mktg Scavenger Hunt and help raise awareness for the New Hope Food Pantry, simply leave a comment on this blog. Coincidentally, leaving a comment on a Shoestring Mktg blog post does count for points in the Scavenger Hunt. Happy hunting!
