Do you know there are 10 million hungry children; nearly half of eligible children do not receive free or reduced price school breakfast and that 3 out of 5 K-8 public school teachers report regularly seeing students coming to school hungry? It’s a heartbreaking reality!
The“Hunger Is” campaign from September 1st through September 30th, 2016 has been established to help childhood hunger efforts in America. This program is designed to bring awareness and funds to improve healthy outcomes for hungry children and their families; specifically focusing on expanding breakfast programs.
But now you can help by joining me through Hunger Is, by purchasing participating brands/products from ACME stores or your local ACME if you don’t live in my area!
It’s so easy:
- Purchase participating items (THAT HAVE THE DISCLAIMER – *purchase of this item in September 2016 will trigger at least $0.10 donation up to $1 million) – Look for tags on participating items in store
- Donate at the register – shoppers can add a $1, $3, or $5, or any $ amount to their purchase. All you need to do is shop for items which are probably already in your basket, which can help raise funds towards this cause – for every unit sold in September 2016, $0.10 goes back to their local market, up to $1M nationally!
- The stores are committed to this cause in every region. Every donation will be donated back to the local market through their 501(c )3 Foundation.
Here is how we helped:
We shopped:
So excited to share that my local ACME in Turnersville, NJ is participating in the Hunger Is campaign! Check them out and help fight childhood hunger! We shopped for some of the items on the list of participating brands and donated at the end:
Who doesn’t like pumpkin spice oatmeal???
We are huge oatmeal fans, so we stocked up, after all, fall is right around the corner!
I use soups on casseroles and other dishes! It is my cold night dinner when we’re too busy to cook or when we need the comfort that a warm bowl of soup brings!
You know I’m a coffee lover, Peets is one of my favorite brands!
My son eats Nutella with just about anything! That is always on my grocery list!
And we donated!
Do you see how easy it was for me to just pick up items I already buy and donate at the end?
Join me and millions in September to help fight childhood hunger with the Hunger Is campaign!
This is a sponsored conversation written by me on behalf of Albertsons Companies & Hunger Is. The opinions and text are all mine.
I’m just speechless for the campaign. You’re so sweet and kind of sharing these info. And I purchase a lot of those products so why not? 🙂
Wow, what a blessing, I cannot imagine my daughter not having have had enough to eat, I will definitely be doing some shopping and donating.
thanks for sharing
Wow, what a blessing. There are so many ways to help, it’s great you are bringing this to everyone’s attention.
The statistics of hungry children around the world is really painful and everyone of us have to step in to do something to help them in need. The“Hunger Is” campaign sounds really amazing as it could bring awareness among people to do something on their part to help such great cause!
Pumpkin Spice is the ultimate flavor this time of year. We love hot oatmeal in the morning and will definitely be trying this!
It is nice to know companies organized such campaign to help fight children hunger. Would love to be part of it.
Wish we had one nearby. We always get Quaker oatmeal and Nutella. Great cause, though!
It makes me sad that people are still going to bed hungry and they shouldn’t have to. Well done you for supporting a great initiative to end world hunger.
Wouldn’t it be nice to end childhood hunger. It’s traumatic that it even exists considering how much food always goes to waste.
No child should have to go to school or to bed at night hungry. So glad to know a brand that I buy regularly feels the same way — what an awesome campaign.
That pumpkin spice oatmeal sounds so good! I love that I can give back by purchasing it.
We love collecting fun great deals to donate to our local pantry. Before we had young kids we would help with processing at the food bank. I love these campaigns where companies give back.
This sounds like a great campaign to get involved with. Oatmeal is a great way to start the day. Pumpkin Spice is going to be so delicious.
This is an amazing campaign. I will have to pick up some Pumpkin Spice oatmeal for breakfast. It looks so delicious.
I like this oatmeal I’m sure my son would really love this
What a great campaign. I just bought nutella and oatmeal yesterday. I need to check if this campaign is running up here in Canada as well.
Thanks for sharing this info, nice to know we can help somehow! amazing campaing
What an awesome way to help families who are in need. I really need to try that Pumpkin Spice oatmeal now!
I hate it when hundred and thousands of people starve while other just splurge. I hope there be more companies that will have social corporate responsibility programs ready to address this kind of issue.
The thought of any child going hungry is sad. Love how these big companies are trying to help end childhood hunger.
Nutella is always on my grocery list too! And quaker has amazing and delicious cereals.
My boys would love the basket ball. This would be so fun to play with
wrong place sorry
It is pumpkin time. I need to get some pumpkin oatmeal
Need to end it, billions of people starving everyday. Every little bit counts.
What a great campaign. I will definitely be doing some shopping and donating.
Definitely time to take care of our own. The other countries have become reliant upon us, but it’s time they put some of the teachings we have given them to use and become less reliant on us.
It’s about time we’re feeding our own and not 3rd world countries. I understand they need food too, but I’m so sick and tired of everyone worrying about others and forsaking our own children. Yeah to Quaker! I’m in on this one!!!!! I work in a Drs. office and 95% of our patients are under insured and indigent. Sometimes if we can just accept a $1 from them for their visit we will. We also have a fund that’s made up by donations to pay for specialists visits so they can get the medical treatment they need, since we’re just family practice and pediatrics. I think it’s wonderful that we can help those in need, and not send all of our funds overseas.
Whenever my kids hear about a campaign about feeding the hungry, they insist on buy the food that has the logo on it.
I love this so much! I cannot imagine my daughter not having have had enough to eat, and it breaks my heart to know that there are children out there going hungry. I will be helping with this!
Wow that is a lot of products that you can use to donate! I think that more and more companies are heading this way and I love it.
It’s so sad that so many children go hungry. Every little bit helps. I will have to see what organizations in my area support child hunger.
Wow, so many of the products I already purchase anyways, so why not, right? This is such a great campaign. Thanks for the info
