During 2011, the problem of childhood hunger hit an all time high! Our main recipient of funds, Oregon Food Bank, provided 81 million pounds of food and distributed 1,024,000 emergency food boxes to Oregon families. This is a record amount and a 12 percent increase from the previous year. In addition, in 2011, American’s threw away about 40% of their food supply and when 15% of U.S. homes are food insecure this poses quite an ethical problem. So let’s try and make a difference by reducing the amount of food we waste, volunteering at food pantries, and donating funds (even small amounts make a difference)! Every little thing can make an impact and 2012 is the time to reduce the amount of children facing hunger! Start now by visiting our online store and making a purchase today!
