Advocacy is the act of speaking on the behalf of or in support of another. Throughout the year we have opportunities to attend community events and advocate for our mission. These opportunities typically present themselves as table events where we bring materials (pamphlets, promotions and giveaways) and have a chance to engage one on one with members of our region. This type of visibility and opportunity to increase awareness are extremely valuable. In order for you to be your best and advocate from a knowledgeable place some training may be required.
Training will consist of background information about the food bank, current strategies, overview of programs and any other current information (where applicable) that you may be asked about at an event.
