Paper Plate Campaigns
FRAC says Organize a Paper Plate or Post Card CampaignPaper Plate and Post Card Campaigns can effectively engage large numbers of people with minimal cost or time commitment. They are meant to capture the personal stories of constituents and send a clear message to legislators about what they think should be done to end hunger and why the federal nutrition programs are vital to your community. Examples of paper plate campaigns can be found on FRAC’s Pinterest page. You can make a photo album highlighting your organization’s work and pictures from a federal nutrition program in action. Schedule a meeting with your elected official and/or staff to discuss your priorities to deliver the photo album. You can make a photo album from digital photos online from many different sites.

Farm 2 School in PAPER PLATE ADVOCACY
Congress only has a few weeks left to pass the Child Nutrition Reauthorization (CNR) this year, so we’re organizing a paper plate campaign to share with legislators the many reasons that healthy school meals and farm to school are vital for a healthier next generation.
At the 8th National Farm to Cafeteria Conference last month, more than 350 people joined us in writing on paper plates what school meals and farm to school mean to their communities. In the next few weeks, we’ll be delivering these plates to lawmakers as they continue to debate this important piece of legislation.
There’s still time to participate in our paper plate campaign! Share your farm to school message on a paper plate (add your name, city and zipcode to the back) and send it to our office in Washington, D.C. We’ll hand deliver your plate to Congress and send a strong message to legislators that school meals and farm to school are an important part of growing healthy kids. As a reminder, this activity is not lobbying so anyone can participate! For a recap of CNR news, visit our blog. Mail paper plates to: National Farm to School Network
