3rd grade students at Dodge Literacy Magnet Elementary School sponsored a Super Kids Day Food Drive to collect food for the Kansas Food Bank in Wichita, Kansas on May 18, 2007. The students set a school-wide goal of 500 pounds, with a promise to spray silly string on teachers if the goal was met. After the food was collected on Super Kids Day, the students tallied the weight of the food items. They also sorted the food by categories.

When Jessica was born, her mother didn't have a job and couldn't afford food. So, she grew up learning how to use coupons strategically to obtain food at little or no cost. She started "Food for Love" to share this knowledge with the needy by forming coupon clubs, distributing food, and starting a website dedicated to the topic.

After reading an article about a local food bank shortage, Greg started a four week soccer program for preschool kids—in lieu of a monetary fee, he charges cans of food and hygiene products. This way, he can donate the goods to local shelters and food banks and also teach kids basic soccer skills. Greg wants to expand his idea to other schools.
