How to Make a Great Flyer (and, a template!)

Flyers are great for capturing all the important details in one spot! You can use your pantry colors and personality to request volunteers for your upcoming projects. Pass these out generously, to your supporters, local schools, businesses and community groups, and at public events.

Here are some tips for creating flyers:

First, determine what the call to action is. Here are some questions to consider:

Are you seeking volunteers or clients?

Are you promoting an event?

Are you sharing about your organization?

Are you seeking donations?

Next, select photos for your flyer that matches your call to action. Photos of real people can really bring the idea of volunteering to life for the reader.

In your content, cover the basics: Who, What, When, Where, + How to register. Include a quick blurb, like "Join us to pack meals, and help fight food insecurity!" to help readers understand what the need is. Don't forget to include some contact information - name + phone or email - for anyone with questions.
