This is a quick update and reminder that our food drive will be closing soon. As of this post, we have donated over 14,000 pounds (6350 kg). There is more to come!

Have you done your part to help the ITF support your local community? Please send amounts and designate food or blankets etc. Also, designate it in pounds or kilograms and send a photo of the donation to [email protected]. Please be sure to designate your INO/MO and country.

Thank you for your support of the ITF and your Community!

All totals must be received before December 31 to be included in the ITF counts for 2024.

The second annual ITF food is now just a few weeks away.

In 2023, with the encouragement of President Choi, 4 countries Brazil, England, India, and the United States all joined together in the first ever ITF Annual food drive. Together they were able to provide 10,537.4 kg (23,231 lbs.) of food, another 1,400 complete meals, and $475 in cash donations. Each participating school donated their collections to their local orphanage, refugees, food banks, homeless shelters, or other local charity. With your help the ITF can do even better this year! Please help.

To participate is easy:
1. Select a local charity of your choice.
2. Starting in October, begin talking to your students about the importance of giving back to their communities.
3. Set up an area in your school and have the students bring in donations.
4. Collect the donations from November 1st through November 30th.
5. Add up the amount (weight) of foods donated. (it may be easier to keep a running total and to add up the new items every night or once or twice a week rather than trying to do it all at one time). Many students like to see their progress on a chart.
6. Deliver the donations to the charity you have chosen.
7. Before December 15, send an email indicating the School(s), INO/MO, Country, and the total amount of foods collected and donated to [email protected] and include several pictures.
