I was shopping today and found a bottle of ketchup- of all things- that caught my attention. On the bottle was a message that read "enter one code to donate one meal to Feeding America." Intrigued, I looked on the back where there surely wasa code to enter. After reading a little more about it, I remembered a while back seeing a commercial about this and an array of other foods which donate meals to children's hunger. Other products include Pam, Orville Redenbachers, Snack Pack, and Chef Boyardee. Knowing that I could support a hungry child and that the girls and I use ketchup quite often, I couldn't help but buy the bottle. (What I should have done is taken a picture of all of the bottles and entered all of the codes ;D! )
When you enter a code to Child Hunger Ends here, ConAgra foods will donate 12.5 cents to Feeding America, which is apparently all it takes to provide a child in hunger. Now, I am going to look for other ConAgra foods that I own that may also contain a code for donating. I encourage you to do the same! Every 1 in 5 children in the U.S. don't know where their next meal is going to come from. In Spokane alone the food insecurity rate is 15.5%. Over 1.5 million people in Washington state are food insecure. Can you provide one child with their next meal?
*As in added bonus the Chid Hunger Ends Here website has two free downloadable songs that are beautiful and inspiring! Check them out!
