I’ve partnered with Wells Fargo Food Banks for this post. I’ve donated all proceeds received to fight hunger and help more families share holiday meals.
This weekend my family and I went shopping for all kinds of delicious foods to get ready for our Christmas celebration. Then when we got home, after putting all of our food away, we sat down in front of our Christmas tree and I explained to my daughters that not everyone is as lucky as we are – one in eight people in America face hunger – and that we were going to help by making a donation of $50 to Feeding America via Wells Fargo Food Banks.
Best math ever: $1 = 10 meals!
I went on to explain to my daughters that when you donate to Feeding America $1 = 10 meals, which means that our $50 = 500 meals. What’s even more wonderful is that Wells Fargo will match up to $1M in donations through 12/31/18. That means that our $50 turns into $100 with the Wells Fargo matching donation and $100 = 1000 meals.
It feels great to help.
This was the thank you message we received for our donation:
Give what you can, donate today.
And now I’m asking you to please join me and my family and give what you can to help alleviate hunger this holiday season. With just one click you can donate today and help more families share holiday meals. When $1 can provide 10 meals, no amount is too small.
Other ways to help fight hunger:
- Volunteer for a few hours at your local Feeding America food bank.
- Donate non-perishable food items at your local Wells Fargo Food Bank.
- Donate money via your local Wells Fargo ATM.
Wishing you a very happy holiday season with plenty of food and love! Thank you for helping fight hunger in America in any way you can.
