Also, as I have recently learned, cash donations are very useful for food banks too, because they can use those donations to buy food in bulk. Just another way to donate!
My apartment community just recently finished a food bank drive. We collected more than 600 pounds of food for our local food bank in about a month. The people sponsoring the food drive were really impressed, cause they said not only were we the highest, but all the really high-class apartment communities barely gave anything.
I left 4 cans of food at my local PG&E office and I was the first person to donate. The employee there said I made his day. Everything counts!
I love that your mom got behind helping out the Food Bank with you. Thanks for being awesome!
Thanks for this video! This year, my family and I volunteered to be the greeters at a grocery store. We asked people to donate and handed out bags with the nonperishable we needed on the backs of them. While most people ignored us or blew us off, it was extremely rewarding and so, so fun.
This is fabulous. My school is in an incredibly poor district, but I work for our annual food drive. My high school consistently raises up to 17,000 cans a year, even though over 70% of our students are on free or reduced lunch themselves. Basically, for that one week a year, my school refuses to forget to be awesome. You remind me of that.
Thank you.
I think that's wonderful that you went out specifically and bought that much food to donate. It's inspiring, now I want to too :)
I often volunteer at my local food bank, Community Pantry. Most of my volunteering takes place during the holidays in which I help organize and distribute food, clothes, and toys. A couple moths beforehand families begin to sign up for the special aid and around Thanksgiving they are given items for their dinner such as stuffing and a turkey. Yesterday we had the Christmas program where people were given food, toys and clothes. We also provide financial relief, job placement, and counseling.
I bid on your sock creatures. I think it's so admirable that you're helping feed others. This is a worthy cause and very noble of you to promote it.
@LunabelleLily No problem! Thanks for watching/commenting!
it's hard to not take for granted something we have access to multiple times on a daily basis...but, not impossible. i've donated food for holiday food drives every year, and this will be no exception. DFTBA. wonderful video for an equally wonderful cause.
I love how it will help the people in your community!
FoodBanks are the most amazing things. Props to local support!
Wow! One of the most discussed. Great workings!!
I know where my local food bank is. I had to use it when I lost my job. I am SO happy that now I can donate to help others!
Great video. Out of lots of P4A videos I've seen Elmify was one of the few that did something beyond state the charity and move on. When donating food to a shelter you should remember to buy generic. The shelter doesn't care about name brand and you can get a heck of a lot more food.
You are really funny. I'm glad you are participating in the project for awesome!
This is perfect, I always buy more non perishables than I really need to have and this is a great way to put them to good use!
I am totally up for this. This is such an easy thing for people to do, if you're at the store, it's just easy for anyone t do. Plus, there's not a lot of money involved, so you can easily do it without fully damaging your budget. I have to say, next to the Shaytards P4A, this would be my favorite P4A. DFTBA!
I think your p4a video is currently my favourite. :) so many good things in one video
British sock creatures? So awesome!
Yes, I have entered the raffle for one of your sock creatures. It would be a jolly good show if I won one, but the charity is the point. Thanks for being a catalyst for food banks.
A great way to donate locally and see the difference you can make! Great charity idea! Also, I really love "wunderbar."
You're obviously not forgetting to be awesome. Good work.
Thanks for the link! I'm excited to find a food pantry in my town.
I really appreciated your drawing. Especially the guy's hands
Oh, and I guess you're cool for donating food and making a P4A video, too :)
Thanks for always being awesome! :)
I've recently actually have to get food from the food bank, so I fully support this.
Thanks for sharing! :) I love food banks - I went and collected donations for one once.
I love you so much for this. Food Banks are really important to ALL communities, and really do need more donations. DFTBA.
DFTBA, I feel like P4A makes me a better/happier person every year. Watching all of these people inspires me.
honestly, this is probably the best prize. Other youtubers are giving out kinda lame prizes, but hey its for charity. Youre Awesome =)
I recommend donating money if you can. Food banks work with grocery stores and bulk suppliers to get food at a much lower cost than we can as individuals, so your dollar will go further if you give money.
there should be food banks here in brazil! loved the idea, my personal fav to p4a
Happy Birthday, Sir.... despite the circumstances!
all of your sock creatures are perfect
Elmify definitely did not forget to be awesome
Proud of you Elmify!
DFTBA, Elmify! I love donating to the food bank here in my city! It's so important to tackle world hunger not only globally, but locally too.
You said 'food' a lot....I LOVE IT
I enjoy the drawing! Food banks rock. They saved my family not too many years ago. DFTBA, but obviously you dont need the reminder. :)
elmify does not forget to be awesome
Yay! I volunteer at our food bank every month!
lovely video. I'm gonna go see if there's a similar thing in my town. thanks for being awesome
This is one of my favorites. DFTBA

I would love it even more to watch everyone in the world to stuff their face with food! Nice :D
@K9Negative That's great! And so true, every bit helps!
Very informative, thanks elmify.
Elmify, you are awesome.
thank you elmify
never mind what I said in the comments section of another video. I have not gone to bed and have apparently now watched all of your videos in one day. It was cleaning day, you see. OK. having been oversaturated with cuteness I shall go to bed. KEEP IT ROCKIN'.
my school does a can food drive thing. my tech drafting class had 928 cans for the food bank :)
Thanks for being awesome!!
@ReinyJ27 Thank you! Happy P4A to you too!!!
Always awesome, Elmify...:) I'll donate tomorrow...
Hooray for food banks! We've got a bin at my library so I'll go out.
Thanks for a great p4a video!
Elmify, you're awesome!
My local food bank also asks for donations of pet food so that people can keep their pets during hard financial times.
your such a nice person, and this is an awesome charity :)
This is just amazing.
Elmify, you are awesome
thank you for being awesome!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you.
Hey there,
I just wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your videos and your sense of humor.
Did you ever recognize how often it occurs that you pull back your head a little, turn it a few degrees to your right and then squint your left eye just a little bit? :D As if you wanted to say "Seriously. Think about it." Just found it a bit funny. Keep making these brilliant videos! :)
Greets from Canada!
ps. Loved your piano performance.
I LOVE ELMIFY AND PROJECT FOR AWESOME
these captchas are driving me nuts!!!!
Yay food banks! I remember seeing an article in my paper talking about their shortage of diapers.
@DowntheDancingPath They're not too hard to make once you get the hang of it! I definitely got better as I want along, and I just use the patterns as a jumping off point! It's a fun book though! :D
thanks for being awesome and posting a video
@fiveafterseven That sounds like an excellent contest!
Every area has a food bank. Our area is $40,000 under their goal this year. I'm collecting for them tomorrow.
The sock puppets are what sealed the deal.
