As my regular readers already know I am participating in ConAgra’s Child Hunger Ends Here campaign. I am participating in this campaign because I want to do what I can to help a child not go to bed hungry tonight, and tomorrow night, and the night after that. It breaks my heart to hear stories about children who are hungry and don’t know if or when they will eat next.
People often think that things like child hunger do not happen in well off communities or affluent metropolises. If you also think that way, think again. There are children RIGHT NOW, in your community, who are going to go to bed hungry tonight. You can’t often tell who is hungry and who is not hungry. It’s not like you can spot a hungry child in a playground full of children. But trust me, hunger is right there in your community. It can be your child’s best friend or your neighbor. Most people are not going to go around announcing that they are hungry and cannot feed their children.
More and more so-called “middle class” families are not struggling to make ends meet. They have to forgo meals in order to pay bills and keep a roof over their heads.
I thought I’d share these videos with you from the Child Hunger Ends Here website to show you the faces of children who can be living on your street or attending school with your children look like.
You can view all of these videos on the Child Hunger Ends Now website.
There is something you can do to help. Simply purchase specially marked packages of ConAgra brand foods, many of which you probably already purchase on a regular basis. Look for the big red push pin.
On each specially marked package there is a special code. Visit the Child Hunger Ends Here website and upload the code. Each code that is uploaded will provide a meal to a hungry child here in the United States. For each code ConAgra will donate a meal through the Feeding American program.
Here is the list of participating brands.
– Banquet
– Chef Boyardee
– Healthy Choice
– Hunt’s
– Marie Callendar’s
– Manwhich
– Orville Redenbacher
– Peter Pan
– Snack Pack
As a special “thank you”, when you upload a code you can get a FREE music download of the song “Here’s Hope“. Better yet you can choose your favorite version sung by today’s top artists.
