Did you know that 1 in 6 people in America face hunger every day? 16 million children live in food insecure households. Nearly half of all households needing assistance from food banks have an adult who is unemployed? These statistics amaze me and make me sad too! Nobody should have to decide between paying their rent or putting food on the table. There are so many people suffering from hunger; I wish I could help every single person who doesn’t know where their next meal is coming from. I know I can’t, but I do what I can by donating to my local food bank on a regular basis. I am also very proud of our forthemommas.com readers who donate so generously from their stockpiles to their local food banks, individual families and other charities. It makes me proud to be a couponer; and I thank all of you. Here are just a small sampling of the donations our readers have made over the last year.
While we can all do our part, we can accomplish even more by banding together. That is why I am very excited to tell you about the partnership between Family Dollar and Feeding America: Learn how you can help supply meals to hungry Americans and Fight Hunger with Family Dollar & Feeding America. Feeding America is the nation’s largest hunger relief organization; feeding over 46.5 million people including 12 million children and 7 million senior citizens. From 7/14/15 – 8/25/15 Family Dollar will donate one meal to Feeding America for every person who participates in the educational activity about hunger in the United States. How easy is that?
