In today’s food-rich world, there is no reason anyone should be going hungry – especially children. Yet, one in five children do! A little bit of generosity can go a long way. To prove it, we got five kids together to make a play holiday dinner. One kid got less than all the others. Can you guess what happened? Watch and share the video to remind everyone that you can fight childhood hunger with one simple action: sharing the dough.
An estimated 1.6 billion tons of food are wasted every year. On top of that, much of the products that food insecure children do have access to is often nutritionally lacking. That is why fighting childhood hunger is so critical.
