Help Giant Food Stores & Feeding America End Hunger!
Hunger. Feeling truly hungry with no idea where your next meal is coming from. Think about it. I am hoping if you are reading this that you have never, and will never know what going hungry feels like. However, if you are experiencing food insecurity or having trouble putting food on the table please click here to find resources to help you. I am truly astonished at how many people go hungry in this country every day.
- 49 million Americans, including 16 million children and 4.8 million seniors, are food insecure, meaning they live at risk of hunger. Food insecurity: USDA’s measure of lack of access, at times, to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members; limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate foods.
- 46.5 million Americans receive food and groceries from the Feeding America network each year, including 12 million children and 7 million seniors.
- 5.4 million Americans are fed by the Feeding America network every week.
- More than 1 in 5 children live at risk of hunger.
- 1 in 6 Americans is food insecure.
- 1 in 7 Americans is currently served by the Feeding America network.
As a coupon blogger, I have seen the incredible generosity of fellow couponers. I have seen readers donating food, beauty and hygiene products, diapers and more to food banks, churches, neighbors and complete strangers. September is #HungerActionMonth and Unilever, Feeding America & Giant have partnered together to help end hunger. You can help.
From 9/18 through 9/24/15, when you buy 5 participating Knorr products with your Giant Bonus Card, you will save $1.50 on meat and Unilever will donate 5 meals to Feeding America. What a win-win situation. You get savings on meat (who couldn’t use a little help with that!) and 5 people get a nutritious meal.
There are two other ways you can help. You can make a small donation to Feeding America. Just $1.00 provides at least 10 meals through the Feeding America Food Banks. You can also donate food at a local food bank. Click here to find a food bank near you. See the photo below for a list of the most needed items.

I participated on Sunday with 80 or so other people in helping to bag up shelf-stable bags of food. Enough money was raised that we were able to bag enough for 30,300 meals for the Central PA food bank.
