Below are examples of
creative ways that people have donated all or a portion of the
proceeds from a special event, sale, or item to the ELCA World
Hunger Appeal. What are you good at? What do you
like to do? Think of creative ways you, too, can help
hungry people while doing something you love. Send an
e-mail with details of your special fundraiser to
hunger@elca.org and let us know what you did.
