This month is Hunger Action Month, to help end hunger in America. If you read the studies–the numbers of children that are going hungry in this country is astounding.
Here’s what more than 1,000 K-8 public school teachers have to say about childhood hunger in our schools:
- 3 out of 5 teachers say they have children in their classrooms who regularly come to school hungry.
- 4 out of 5 of those teachers say these children come to school hungry at least once a week.
- A majority of teachers who see hunger as a problem believe the problem is growing.
If you click that logo above, you’ll see many different options for helping. But there’s also something fun and easy you can do too. Just visit any Macaroni Grill and donate $2 towards Share our Strength’s efforts to end childhood hunger. In return, you’ll get a $5 coupon. How easy is that?
ETA: Another blogger friend alerted me to the following: Joe’s Crab Shack is doing something like this too. Donate $1 get a free slice of pie for dessert, donate $5 get a free nacho appetizer, donate $10 get a free steam pot. You can redeem the gift cards between October 1st & December 31st.
