30 Days of Giving

Every child deserves access to nutritious food – not just on special occasions, but every day. 

How does the competition work?
In addition to raising money for our grantees, we’ve added a little friendly competition. 

Sponsors can sign up to create their own team, and individuals can join those teams to track the food items they donate to their local communities, including food banks, churches, and other organizations. 

Each team will log the number of food items donated within their own communities. 

The winning team will choose a local food bank to receive a $250 donation from MREF.

Who will receive the money raised during the 30 Days of Giving?
Donations will be used to support the nutrition needs of children. Details on our grantees will be released as we get closer to the dates! 

Who can participate?
Anyone – the more the merrier. While the majority of participants hail from marketing research companies, we welcome all participants and their friends, families, partners, neighbors, etc.

Can I join any team?
Encourage your company to sign up as a sponsor! If your company is not sponsoring a team, please feel free to join MREF’s team – the MREF Hunger Heroes!

I logged my donated items previously, then did another drop off with more items. Can I log these items too?
