Using Social Media for National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week

This week is National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. Many communities are holding events for the week. How can they use the social web to share what they accomplished this week?

Here are some ideas of sample events and different ways you can use the social web:

• Volunteering at Food Banks/Shelters - Take photos of food bank/shelter and volunteers and post it on Flickr. Take a video of volunteers helping out and/or of the food bank/shelter. Post a blog entry about the event.
• Hunger Awareness Programs- Create an informational video and post it on YouTube. Post a blog entry (or entries) about the informational content presented at the program. Record the presentation as a podcast and/or video.
• Hearing Homeless People Speak- Post a blog entry about the experience of this homeless person. Record the presentation as a podcast and/or video. Take photos of the program and post it on Flickr.
• Food Drives/Other Drives- Take photos of items collected and post them on Flickr. Post a blog entry about the drive.
