In the U.S. today, 15 million children face hunger. Chances are, someone your child attends school with struggles to get enough to eat.

Just as hunger knows no age, neither does fighting it. We all have a role to play in solving hunger, whether old or young. Children can make a positive difference in the lives of other kids in need. It’s important to talk children about hunger, and inspire them to take action against it. Talk to the kids in your life about hunger. Encourage them to help donate, advocate or volunteer. Only when we all work together – young and old – can we focus on ending hunger, and make sure every child in our nation has the food they need to grow healthy and strong.

 Family Volunteer Day is a day designed for families to do good for their communities!  Fun and family oriented projects will be in store!  This is the perfect time to teach your smaller children the impacts of giving back to the community in which they live.  Any child over the age of 5 is welcome to volunteer with the supervision of a parent!!
