People Like Our Posters

Sometimes you have to be your own cheerleader. So, without further adieu, here is a pat on the back to the hard-working folks behind the Ohio Association of Second Harvest Foodbanks' "Do You Know Someone Who. . . " campaign that began in May.

When distributed at Capacity Building events for The Ohio Benefit Bank/HealthPath partnership, the posters are assembled into packets that include 10 of each size. The range of sizes allows organizations to either inset the information into pamphlets, put it on bulletin boards or post in in areas like laundry facilities and grocery stores.

To date, the direct service office of The Ohio Benefit Bank in Columbus has received requests for 1,150 copies of the 8.5 X 11 size "Do You Know Someone Who. . . " campaign poster, which is the medium of the three posters.  The office also processed 50 requests for the 4.25 X 5.5 size (the smallest), and six for the 11 X 17 posters (the largest).

One copy of the 11 X 17 "Do You Know Someone Who. . . " campaign poster sits as a demonstration of the openness of the program. It highlights the needs of jobs, medication and food, but also mentions that The Ohio Benefit Bank can help with a variety of services. At the bottom of the poste, a black hoizontal strip showcases the toll-free 1-800-648-1176 number that people can call for assistance as well as the OBB Web site at http://www.obb.ohio.gov/.

The biggest order for the "Do You Know Someone Who. . . " poster came from the Hartsgrove Township in Ashtabula County with 600 8.5 X 11 posters requested on July 6. Most of the other orders for posters were about 100 of the medium size with a few of the large.
