Crisp air. Crunching leaves. A stroll through town, warm drink in hand, as scarecrows pop up on porches, lawns, and shopfronts.
Running a Sharecrows event feels a little like bringing back the fall fair—but in your own way, and for a cause that truly matters.
Here’s how it works:
Step 1: Register your club at Sharecrows.org. You’ll gain access to an easy-to-use web platform with everything you need to get going—signage, maps, templates, social media support, and more.
Step 2: Invite your community to create. Whether it’s a local bakery, a high school class, or a group of retirees, scarecrows come in every style and story. Each display is a conversation starter and a reason to get out and explore.
Step 3: Launch your 11-day Sharecrow Tour. Distribute maps—available online or in hard copy at local retailers—by donation, and encourage folks to visit the displays with food in hand. Every scarecrow becomes a collection point, every visitor a participant in something meaningful.
Step 4: Give back—and move forward. All food collected goes to your local food bank. All donations from the maps stay with your club, to be used however your community needs most—whether that’s supporting youth programs, investing in infrastructure, running workshops, or keeping your doors open.
“It felt like Halloween met a harvest celebration—with neighbours giving instead of getting.”
Whether you’re supporting a food program, funding a new bench in the park, or keeping the lights on for another year, Sharecrows helps you do it—joyfully, locally, and with impact.
