Bank on It: A Food Bank Blog


Twitter for Food

by Daniel Buckley

A couple weeks ago, I posted to this blog about how impressed I have been with the communal, supportive culture that the Food Bank has found on Twitter. And now I’m here again to tell you about our latest Twitter partnership — with Twitter For Food (@HungerNoMore).

Run by a Californian named Tim Blair, Twitter for Food is Tim’s personal project to encourage the Twitter community to skip lunch and donate the cost to their local food bank on the first of every month. And now Twitter for Food has become the Food Bank’s latest “Go Orange” partner!

Helping to raise awareness as part of NYC Goes Orange (#NYCorange) — the Food Bank’s biggest campaign of the year — Twitter for Food is turning their website and Twitter profile orange for a full month!

Plus — check out my guest post on Twitter for Food and help spread the word by tweeting these blog posts!


p.s. I also wanted to give a shout out to another great Twitter partner Fare a la Femme (@FarealaFemme). For the past two weeks, the Fare a la Femme blog has helped raise awareness by posting weekly NYC Goes Orange recipes! Orange Cake, Orange and Apricot Biscotti, mmmmm….
