• Host a morning tea with a donation cover charge

• Have a coffee drought where your workplace would donate what they would usually spend on coffee or lunch

• Be a drop off point for a Food Bank Pantry Drive. You would be the collection point and you would promote our most needed items in the Food Bank and them donate them to the CARAD office on a Monday and Tuesday morning.
