WHAT DIY EVENT PLANNING WILL COSTS ORGANIZATIONS FIGHTING HUNGER:
💸 Executive Director Time: 40+ hours planning galas instead of securing food partnerships
⏰ Lost Opportunities: 200+ staff hours diverted from feeding programs
📉 Fundraising Gap: Amateur events raise 40% less than professional ones
🍽️ Real Impact: While you're googling 'centerpiece ideas,' food banks run empty
😰 Leadership Burnout: Your team loses passion for the mission that called them
🔥 Reputation Risk: One vendor disaster damages community trust built over years
Organizations feeding hungry families understand this truth: When 22% of nonprofit workers live in households unable to afford basic necessities, every resource must serve the mission strategically.
