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. In the world's poorest countries, mothers will often go without even that one meal to help prevent their children from becoming malnourished.

Join forces with your work colleagues and get them involved as a team to raise the most funds for the Concern Empty Plate Campaign: if you raise the most money, you could be selected to travel overseas to visit some of Concern's programs in the field!

If we all choose to say no to extras for just one day, to leave just one plate empty, we have the power to feed thousands of the world's poorest and most vulnerable women and children.

Join the Concern Empty Plate Campaign today. It's easy. You can: 

1. DONATE NOW: Skip a meal—or go without food for just one day—and donate the cost of that meal (or meals) to Concern.
