Amanda enlisted the help of the two elementary schools in Sierra County. She motivated the students by giving the class that brought the most canned food an ice cream party. Amanda herself was rewarded when the enthusiastic students brought in 818 pounds of nonperishable food items which she donated to the Matthew 25 Food Pantry which is ran by a church in Forc, NM and feed approximately 400 people a month. Cynthia from Santa Fe County organized a food drive that would impact her whole community. Within weeks Cynthia's efforts were well seen and she raised over 50 pounds of non-perishable food.
Ambassadors rise to the top as they come together and give back to their communities.
Larimer County, Colorado Food Drive Arielle decided that it would be a lot of fun to go out and help the community around her, and also to help under-privileged families. They had heard a while ago that this shelter was in need of food because there were more families than expected coming in at this time of year. She suggested that her club pull together and organize a food drive so that they could help women and children through hard times in their lives. This involved getting everyone together and going to grocery stores to donate gift certificates so they could buy non-perishable items, going to local businesses and asking them for donations with which they could purchase food. In total they worked for about two weeks, and acquired about 300 pounds of food to donate.
