Let's Help Our Friends Who Have Empty Refrigerators!
-
Do you have a friend or classmate who never eats breakfast and doesn’t bring food for snack at school? Tell a parent or trusted adult.
-
When you have friends over to play, offer some fruit and a glass of milk. You can even make them Cheesy Pizza Bombs.
-
Make posters encouraging people to give food or money to your local food bank.
-
Ask permission to put your posters up in grocery stores, libraries, schools, and businesses.
-
Volunteer with your family or class at a local food bank, pantry, shelter, or community kitchen.
-
Ask your local food bank what foods they need. Then organize a neighborhood or school food drive for those items. (Your little brother or sister's wagon is perfect for collecting donated food.)
-
Talk to your friends, teachers, and parents about ways to fight childhood hunger. The more we talk about empty refrigerators, the fewer there will be.
-
Give time and money to food banks and organizations that help fight hunger.
