Help End Child Hunger

It is sad to think that hunger is an issue in a rich, developed country like the United States, yet it is. People living in all 50 states are affected by food insecurity, and children are even more at risk than adults. Unfortunately more than 15 million children in the U.S. do not know where their next meal is coming from. At the national level this is a complex issue, with no easy solutions. But at the local level there are simple and empowering things all families can do to help children get the food they need and deserve.

One of the most important things we can do is raise awareness. That is why ConAgra has partnered with presidential “hopeful” Robby Novak, Kid President, to help raise awareness of child hunger in America. Kid President has just released this video addressing child hunger in America.

You can view or share this video to help raise awareness for child hunger. And thanks to everyone who has already viewed and shared this video, ConAgra has met its goal of donating the monetary equivalent of 100,000 meals to Feeding America. To continue this effort and to learn more about ways to fight hunger in your community, visitwww.childhungerendshere.com

Another important thing you and your family can do is donate food to your local food bank. There are food banks all over the country, and I am sure there is one near you. This is also a great way to get kids involved in helping out! Have your kids pick out a few of their favorite foods when you are grocery shopping to donate in your own community, because there is need everywhere. Kids love helping others, and it is important to teach them compassion when they are young so it becomes a lifelong habit. My son helps out with a huge food drive run by the scouts every year, but we also make sure to drop off smaller amounts of food every month. Food pantries always need more supplies, and every donation, no matter how small, will be appreciated.

Hi, I’m Anne!

I love to cook and I want to share my recipes with you. I believe cooking should be approachable and fun, not a chore. I want to make simple recipes using everyday ingredients that you can make again and again, whether it is for a busy weeknight, a summer cookout or a special dessert. Read more...

  1. Such an important topic! Having struggled ourselves financially and wondering how to feed our kids, it’s such a sensitive subject for me as well. We’re doing good now, and I’ve made it a point to take my kids with me when we donate food to food banks. We’ve also volunteered with the older kids so they are more aware of the struggles some people face.
    LOVE Kid President as well. Good for Conagra and him for partnering

  2. Noone in this country should be hungry, especially not children. I do watch for these packages, it’s a great campaign.

  3. Kids especially shouldn’t have to go hungry anywhere in the United States. Keeping an eye out for these shipments is a fantastic initiative, and I do so.
