More than one in five children, including more than one in four Latino children, in the U.S. may not know where their next meal is coming from. That’s nearly 16 million children, a number that could fill 8,000 playgrounds.
Children who experience even intermittent struggles with hunger may suffer serious, long-term consequences to their health, well-being and educational achievement. What’s more, being hungry robs kids of the promise of childhood – the ability to play, grow and learn.
At ConAgra Foods, they find this unacceptable. That’s why they are partnering with P&G to build a community of people to make a difference and help donate up to 7 million meals through the Child Hunger Ends Here campaign, and Meijer has teamed up to help.
- • Enter Codes to Trigger Donations. It’s easy to make a difference: Look for the red pushpin on participating product packaging for a code found on these specially marked ConAgra Foods and P&G products. For each 8-digit code entered at www.ChildHungerEndsHere.com from March-August 2014, ConAgra Foods or P&G, respectively, will donate the monetary equivalent of one meal to Feeding America.
- • Join the Community and Get Involved. One of the easiest ways to learn how to get involved is to join the Child Hunger Ends Here Facebook community at Facebook.com/ChildHungerEndsHere or follow the news on Twitter and Instagram at @ChildHungerEnds.
- • Community Food Donations. ConAgra Foods is donating 50,000 meals to community food banks for Meijer in appreciation for their fantastic partnership to end child hunger!

This is an injustice that has no reason to exist. There are abundant food and resources to go around, but govt. corruption and greed causes this to happen.
Leigh Anne Miller Borders says
I am happy that they are taking a stand and showing they care. We need more awareness of this issue. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for sharing this. It makes it easy for me to spread the word. A couple simple steps can make such a difference.
