Tips for Maximizing Your Partnership

Our best ideas for getting the most out of your selection!

Congratulations on being selected as a Fight Hunger bag program partner at your designated City Market! Here you will find outreach ideas and resources to help you make the most of this opportunity.

Before Your Selection Period Begins

  • Send the Announcement Email to your staff, board, and volunteers to make sure everyone knows when and where to buy a Fight Hunger bag.
  • Kick off your outreach using the Head Start Tools to share the news with your supporters.
  • Explore the Resource Center to find email templates, social media examples, downloadable flyers, a promotional video, and more.
  • Look for the social media posts in the Monthly Toolkit and schedule your posts early! This way, all your social media outreach will be ready for when your benefiting month starts.
  • For more tips from previous hunger relief organization partners and a step-by-step tutorial for using and customizing the Tools of the Month, visit the Video Library.
  • Have any questions? Feel free to visit our FAQs or reach out to Program Manager Lizzy Russell at citymarket@bags4mycause.com or (603) 380-9354.

During Your Selection Period

  • Announce the start of your selection period with the Launch Day Email.
  • Visit your selected City Market and post a picture of the Fight Hunger bag rack. This way, your supporters will know exactly where to go to purchase a bag in support of your organization.
  • Check out the Monthly Toolkit for social media posts, an Instagram Story, a flyer, and a promotional video.
  • Brainstorm creative ways to promote the partnership with the Social Media Examples.
  • Feeling inspired? Create your own post or video with help from the Image Bank.
  • With the Instagram Story found in the Monthly Toolkit, you can post in just minutes! Since an Instagram Story disappears in 24 hours, they are the perfect way to remind your followers to support your organization at City Market.
  • Mix up how you spread the news by checking out all the tools available in the Resource Center!

After Your Selection Period Ends

  • Thank your supporters for their help with the Thank You Post found in the Monthly Toolkit. Simply download the post and you are ready to share!
  • Sit back and relax! Approximately one week after your two-month selection period ends, you will receive a final email with the total amount that will be donated to your organization by City Market and when your check will be sent. To update your address or ask any questions, please contact Program Manager Lizzy Russell at citymarket@bags4mycause.com or (603) 380-9354.
  • Hoping to partner with the Fight Hunger bag program again? Your hunger relief organization will continue to be available for selection by the Store Leadership Team, so there is no need to reapply for the program. When selected, your organization will receive an email approximately one month before your selection begins.
