So when you are feeding your kids today take a moment and thing about the children in your community.
Kids every kid in the world deserves to have in their food belly, but in our land of the free and the home of the brave there are many children who go without. I think about when times are lean in our home and how my kids are upset about not having the flavor cereal they want. There are times I think at least they have cereal in the pantry. These Facts about US Childhood hunger blow me away:
More than one in five children in the U.S., including more than one in four Latino children, may not know where their next meal is coming from. That’s nearly 16 million children, a number that could fill 8,000 playgrounds.
Children who experience even intermittent struggles with hunger may suffer serious, long-term consequences to their health, well-being and educational achievement. What’s more, being hungry robs kids of the promise of childhood – the ability to play, grow and learn.
ConAgra Foods is partnering with P&G to build a community of people to make a difference and help donate up to 7 million meals through the Child Hunger Ends Here campaign. I am working as an Ambassador on the Con Angra Child Hunger Ends here.. you might have noticed the little pop up window that showed up when you entered my blog. That is a place where you too can help those children who go to bed hungry or have empty bellies at school. How can you help?
