What if for just one day you said, "No, thank you," to extras and meals out and donated the money you saved to hunger relief and prevention? It's a surprising statistic, but the average person wastes 14 percent of their food on a daily basis. Here's another surprising statistic for you: Just 5 percent of what we don't use - or truly need -- would be enough to feed 4 million hungry people for a day (source: CNN.com). You can really help. By donating the cost of your lunch or dinner to the Concern Empty Plate Campaign, you can help feed a hungry family forced to survive on one meal a day. A mother will often go without that one meal to help prevent malnutrition in her child. Get your work colleagues involved to raise the most funds to alleviate hunger, and you could be selected to visit one of Concern's overseas operations first hand! If we all choose to leave one plate empty, we can feed thousands of the worlds poorest and most vulnerable women and children. Join The Concern Empty Plate Campaign today. It's easy.
