This year, I wanted to make sure the clients at St. John’s Soup Kitchen knew how important their voices are in this upcoming election. So, with a little creativity, we decided to get the word out to vote uniquely and directlyβ€”by placing β€œVote” stickers on every sandwich and meal container we served.

The simple addition of a sticker not only sparked conversations but served as a gentle reminder that every voice truly matters. Many clients stopped to ask questions about where to vote, how to get information, and the importance of their vote in shaping our community and our future.

It was amazing to see how a small sticker could make such an impact, reminding each person of their power and encouraging them to participate in this critical election. This initiative was a simple but meaningful step to empower our community and ensure no voice goes unheard. After all, democracy begins with awarenessβ€”and sometimes, all it takes is a sandwich to spread the message.
