Feeding America

Usually, this blog focuses on buying products for yourself while supporting global charities. But with Christmas just around the corner, it's a good time to think about giving someone else a gift.

Feeding America is the country's largest, domestic hunger-relief charity that works to eradicate hunger in our own country. They aim to eradicate hunger in America through a network of food banks. Their program provides food to over 37 million Americans a year. Their 202 local member food banks around the country that are able to build relationships in their communities.

Besides from donating to Feeding America's food banks, you can also go online and give money to feed a family for a month, or give holiday dinners. You can also donate in honor of someone else. For a $90 donation, you could feed a family dinner for 9 months. Every dollar becomes 8 meals, turning this one-time gift into 720 meals.
