The document provides instructions for fundraising participants to collect and submit donations for a hunger relief organization. It thanks online donors from the previous year for helping save costs so more money could be given to fight hunger. Participants are encouraged to collect sponsor donations online if possible, but paper forms are provided as an alternative. The forms collect sponsor information to issue tax receipts for donations of $15 or more. Participants are instructed to total the cash collected, write one cheque, and mail the package of forms and donations to the organization's address. A contributor to famine is drought, and drought is linked to climate change, so participants are encouraged to "go green" in their fundraising efforts.
