Feed the Hungry

THE HUNGER SITE
Although worldwide hunger is a staggering problem, the situation is improving. Twenty years ago, about forty-one thousand people died of hunger or related causes daily. That has decreased to twenty-four thousand, but it’s still a crisis. You may think, So what can I do about it? Well, all it takes is the click of a mouse to donate at The Hunger Site, created in 1999 to work on eliminating world hunger. Over two hundred thousand people click the “give free food” button each day, which allows hunger relief organizations Mercy Corps and America’s Second Harvest to distribute food paid for by site sponsors.

Feed the hungry at www.thehungersite.com and don’t forget to click every day! You don’t pay a thing.
