Day 6 ★ 12 Days of Giving

“For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in.” Matthew 25:35

According to The FEED Foundation 350 million children go hungry everyday.  Everyday!  Through this organization and specifically, FEED Projects, they are helping to change this number.  You too can help by donating to their cause directly, or by purchasing one of the many, very cool products they have to purchase that help feed millions!  Go check out their website now for some really inspiring and meaningful gifts that include: FEED bags, bears, t-shirts, and other accessories.  FEED Projects’ mission is “to create good products that help FEED the world and by creating an impact of each product sold.  FEED takes great pride in using environmentally-friendly and artisan-made materials, along with fair-labor production, in creating all FEED products.”

Here are just a few of the gifts you can purchase from FEED Projects:

FEED was founded by Lauren Bush and Ellen Gustafson in 2007 and the website states, “we stand behind our brand and the organizations and humanitarian programs each FEED product supports. Ultimately, we believe that everyone has the right to basic human necessities, such as healthy and nutritious food. FEED is proud to help FEED the world, one bag at a time.”

FEED also has a fund set up called Help Haiti which began in response to the devastating  7 Richter scale earthquake on January 12th, 2010.  The UN World Food Program has been operating in Haiti in 1969.  In emergencies like these, funds have to be withdrawn from long-term development programs, like school feeding, to provide immediate support for victims.  So they still need much help there.  On Day 3 of this 12 Days of Giving Series, I wrote of another organization that is working hard in Haiti, and for Haiti.  If you want to check it out, click here.

I know there are many organizations and charities that work hard in the fight against hunger.  We should all do our part in helping them in any way we can.  Check your local food bank to see what you can do in your area.  Here in Lubbock, TX, we have The South Plains Food Bank who always host the U Can Share Food Drive to collect food and funds for those who may be having to go without.  Let’s do our part.  Remember your neighbor and be like the Good Samaritan who didn’t pass him by, but instead offered him assistance.
