Need some ideas on what types of opportunities and employee engagement activities to offer? We’ve got you covered; check out some of these efforts that other Vermont businesses have put in place as employee engagement boosts!

In lieu of company holiday gifts, let your employees know that you're making a donation to the Vermont Foodbank in their name.

Show your staff that you encourage employee giving by simplifying the process. Offering a payroll deduction not only allows them to participate in the workplace giving culture, but also allows them to spread the gift out over the course of the year.

Offering a tax-deductible donation match to your employees' donations is an incredible way to compound your impact.

Organize groups of volunteers to help out for a few hours at a Foodbank location, a food distribution, or a partner gleaning farm! Volunteering is a great team-building exercise and a hands-on way for your employees to play a role in ending food insecurity. Learn more about volunteering with Vermont Foodbank. 

Make a donation to Vermont Foodbank when one of your employees volunteers.

Friendly Competition: Create an exercise group and ask participants to make a donation pledge as their entry fee. Walking, yoga, biking... the possibilities are endless! Invite neighboring businesses to engage in some friendly competition to track who raises the most money.

Brown Bag to Fight Hunger: Designate a special day where people are encouraged to bring in their lunch. Then, donate what they would have otherwise spent on a meal out.

Wacky Hat Day: Spice up your remote work meetings by donning your most spectacular hat, and suggest that participants make a donation. We would love to see the photos @vermontfoodbank!
