Our family has had their ups & downs when it comes to money over the years, but never have we our our children ever had to worry about going hungry. Sadly, that is the case for the 1 in 5 children that face hunger every day.
One in five children.....I look at my son playing with 4 of his friends and think, statistically, 1 of them may not know where their next meal is coming from.
Fortunately Unilever thinks that this is just as horrible as I do and, in partnership with Feeding America, wants to provide more than a million meals this holiday season! In the last 5 years, they have already provided 30 million meals! (learn more at brightfuture.unilever.us )
And here is where you come in and can be part of helping:
- Use coupon in the November 15, 2015 coupon inserts (Unilever coupons are typically in the Redplum insert) to purchase Unilever products like Dove or Hellmann's either in-store or on Amazon Prime Pantry. For every coupon used, Unilever will donate one meal to Feeding America.
- Look for #ShareAMeal on social media. When you engage with the hashtag #ShareAMeal, even just a simple "like", retweet or share, a meal will be donated. You can also take a picture of an empty plate and post it to Instagram or Twitter using the #ShareAMeal hashtag! Just look at how many people are already doing it on Twitter!
- Share a meal at your home, on your block, or in your community.
- Give back to your community by supporting your local food bank or Feeding America.
No child should ever have to worry if they are going to have a meal each day and I am so proud to have participated in the Unilever brightFuture #ShareAMeal blog program as a member of One2One Network. I received compensation but all opinions are my own.
