SHARE A MEAL AND FIGHT CHILD HUNGER

The holidays are a time when children should be singing, decorating and celebrating with family, not worrying about where they’ll get their next meal. Yet one in five kids in America face hunger every day. Fortunately, there are many simple ways you can make a big difference.

From packing an extra lunch to supporting brands that donate food to those in need, it’s easy to feel good about helping a child have a brighter holiday. Here are some easy ways you and your family can make a difference:

Volunteer

The holiday season is a great time of year to get the family involved in volunteering. Make a difference by helping out at a local food bank. These organizations need volunteers to organize, take inventory, distribute and more - especially during the holiday season. Just a few hours of time can make a big impact.

Organize

The holidays are a perfect time to organize a food drive. With Feeding America’s how-to guide and resources, putting together a local food drive has never been easier. Visit www.FeedingAmerica.org to learn more.

Join

When you engage with the hashtag #ShareAMeal, Unilever will donate a meal to Feeding America. It can be as simple as a like or a retweet, or you could even post a photo of an empty plate on Instagram or Twitter using #ShareAMeal to make a difference.

Host

Have a knack for technology? Use social media, email and other technology to start a virtual food drive where everyone - not just those who live locally - can donate. You can share statistics about the issue of childhood hunger and explain how the money donated will impact children in need.
