Here's a sample E-mail that explains what "Trick or Feed" is all about. Make sure you only send this email to homes you intend to visit!
This is also a great way to explain "Trick or Feed" via a Facebook status update. Just change the wording to suit how you would like to be contacted!

Dear_______
This Halloween night we will be participating in a food-drive called, "Trick or Feed". When we come knocking on your door, we'd love it if you would set aside some non-perishable food items for us to collect so we can deliver them to the local food bank.
We appreciate your help and are excited to help fill the shelves of the food bank prior to the holidays. You may want to consider donating items that can be used in upcoming holidays like boxed stuffing mixes, canned beans, soups, etc...
Please let us know if you would like to participate by replying to this email. Thank you so much for helping us help others!
We also want to encourage you to visit www.trickorfeed.blogspot.com to learn more about this service project. You can also download your own flyers & posters there to start your own "Trick or Feed" campaign!
