Use a variety of communication methods such as emails, newsletters and social media.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Post attention-grabbing signs at your location. Be sure to include your organization name, Give Aloha logo and your organization's 5-digit code.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Use social media channels to inform your followers that you're participating in Give Aloha.

Your supporters will appreciate knowing how their donation will be utilized.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Make donating fun! In the past, one school created a jingle incorporating their organization name and code - the kids found it fun learning the jingle and went home and sang it to their parents. Some organizations have contests to encourage participation. Schools can have students create a flyer to take home to show their parents (be sure it includes your organization name and code).<o:p></o:p></p><p>Be sure to incorporate the tutorial video we've provided in your communication to your supporters.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Lastly, instruct your supporters to donate with their Maika'i card, which is required in order for their donation to receive a matching gift.<o:p></o:p></p><p>If you have any questions, please email me at <a href="mailto:+givealoha@foodland.com" target="_blank">givealoha@foodland.com</a> or call me at (808) 735-7388.<o:p></o:p></p><p>Regards,<br>Juliet Garcia<br>Community Relations Manager <o:p></o:p></p></div></div></div></div></body></html>
