How would you like to give 400 meals to your local food bank at no cost to you? Yes, you read that right. By entering the giveaway below you can win 400 meals donated to your local food bank.
This summer, Nestlé Juicy Juice and Feeding America have launched a program called the Fruit for All Project, an effort to help get 35 million pieces of fresh fruit into the hands of hungry children.
Food should be a right, not a privilege. Can you even imagine what it is like to not know how you are going to feed your child? More than one in five children in America is food insecure, meaning that over 16 million American children are at risk of hunger at this very moment. That simply should not happen. Sadly, the summer months represent an even greater risk for children in need because they do not have access to their school’s free or reduced-price lunch programs.
Between now and August 31, a piece of fruit will be provided to hungry kids and their families each time Juicy Juice is purchased. They have pledged to donate up to 35 million pieces of fruit to children in need.
Found the Marbles is all about showing you the many ways that you can pay it forward to others. So why not take some time today to earn even more fruit donations for those in need? Just log on to FruitforAllProject.com or go to Juicy Juice’s Facebook page to complete challenges like games, quizzes and puzzles and help these children.
It is an honor to be able to give one reader a prize of 400 meals donated to your local food bank. All you have to do to enter is to leave a comment below with your thoughts about childhood hunger or why you want to win this giveaway.
Until food is a right and not a privilege, it is our social responsibility to help those in need. With just the click of your mouse, you can help today.
Disclosure: As a thank you for writing this post, Juicy Juice is donating 400 meals to my local food bank. It is an honor to be part of this social good campaign.
My family is lucky enough to have food on our table,but I know others are not. I try to help ur local food bank and donate whenever I am able too. My kids love taking the food in, They know they are helping too. Everyone should be able to have a good meal
I’m not sure how childhood hunger could NOT be important to anyone. Having food should be standard. What a wonderful giveaway.
I visited a Philadelphia public school summer program yesterday, and the children were eating saltine crackers, cheese sticks and applesauce for lunch. That meal would be a snack for my 3 year old daughter, yet for some of the students I saw yesterday, that would be their last meal of the day. Thankfully, there are organizations like Philabundance here in the city that help make sure children eat. I’d love to be able to win 400 meals for them.
I’ve worked with many young children who went hungry for meals outside of school. It simply shouldn’t happen. Thanks for the reminder, the post, and the giveaway!
We bring children into the world to love them and keep them safe. No child should need to worry about where their next meal will come from. It is our responsibility as adults to not only help our own children but to do all we can to help other children!!
Childhood hunger is important because children don’t have a choice in how much money they earn. All children deserve to eat nutritious, healthy, filling meals.
As a child we didn’t have a lot but we never went hungry, I can’t imagine what it must be like for children and parents who cannot afford the simple necessities like food.
I so dislike seeing students come to school hungry when I was a teacher!
because no child should ever be hungry, especially in one of the wealthiest nations in the world.
No Child should ever be hungry. I love the fact you are doing this. This is why you are one of my favorite blogs.
What a fabulous offering! I know how heartbreaking it can be with a picky eater but I at least have something offer the boys. I just can’t fathom how hard it is to have a hungry child and not be able to satisfy that basic need. So many families live so close to not knowing where that next meal will come from in today’s times.
a child who is hungry cannot focus on anything else..how can they be expected to thrive that way? I would love to be able to help local children because in this area..I think there are many who could use it
I wish that no child had to suffer hunger. My church’s food bank feeds hundreds of families each week and could really use this.
I am lucky we can afford to give my daughter food and even if we couldn’t we have a lot of family that could help us out. I feel so sad for all the children who don’t have that and the parents who are unable to feed their children we all need to help as much as we can
Childhood hunger is an important topic because children are unable to provide for themselves and it makes me sad when they go without enough food.
I have seen children go hungry in my community. Seeing it first hand changes your entire thought process about it. I have since then, donated as much as I can to help the folks that are not able to afford food.
I have been teaching for 9 years and I have seen the effects of childhood hunger on far too many of my students. They can not focus at school sometimes and it effects all areas of their health.
It’s important to me because hunger affects school work and emotional stability. A child cannot focus if they’re hungry. Thanks.

I know what it feels to be a child totally helpless in trying to get food on the table. I remember one time all we had to eat for a whole week were canned corn, dry milk, and frozen dinners donated by our next door neighbor. I am happy that someone is doing this giveaway and I’m sure that if I win the children here will appreciate it too.
This is such an important time for growing, no child should be without essential foods
I think our children our the most important thing in this world. And I don’t think any child for ever have to feel the pain of being hungry.
should ever** sorry typo
Because I grew up eating food from the local food pantry and know what type of a life that is.
It’s important to me because I was so fortunate growing up, and I have the means to help others who are not so lucky!
Childhood hunger is important to me because my husband often tells of his childhood where he went hungry and often starved. It really hits home.
Childhood hunger should not be occruing in the year 2012. I hope this is something that my children children’s will only hear about in books and we don’t have anymore. Nobody should go to bed hungry especially a growing child.
This is amazing! Just got your email and I have replied back, thank you
