"I usually turn the channel when I see commercials about starving children. It makes me too sad. But something about what you are doing touched me and I want to help. I am only 16, but I think that I have to do something. I have to help these starving children."                           Emily A., Oklahoma

Because Kids Against Hunger is a volunteer-driven effort, there are many ways to help. Of course, the easiest way is to make a tax-deductible monetary contribution. we have to purchase all supplies and ingredients from vendors, and could not exist without the fianancial support of individuals, corporations, schools, clubs, and people like you.

Besides providing financial support, there are many other ways to help. When you volunteer your time or resources, we save money that can then be used to purchase additional ingredients and supplies for our life-saving meals. Some of our needs are great, some are much smaller and easier to fulfill, but every single one of them needs to be fulfilled for us to continue our fight against world starvation.

• Package food - it's a wonderful, fulfilling way to feel that you are making a real difference! You can see the progress with each bag you package and box up. From the very young to senior citizens, any group can be involved in this process. The most effective way to help in this manner is to do fundraising - suggested amount is $20 or more per person. If we don't receive a donation from your packaging group, we have to wait for the dollars to come in from other sources before we can buy the ingredients to package again. We won't turn you away if you don't have a donation, but if we are to maintain the rate of expansion we're currently facing, we need those dollars. But we also know that money for ingredients is worthless if we don't have volunteers to package the food, so regardless, your involvement is definitely appreciated! If you're not in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area, just check out our satellites directory to see where your closest office is located.
  


• Come to the office and help with the clerical side of things! We are always in need of volunteers to assemble our literature, maintain our correspondence and do janitorial work. Teens might consider a long-term summer internship. You would get on-the-job training in a nonprofit environment while fulfilling your community service project requirement. Not to mention that summer internships look great on a college application!
  


• We regularly need our lawn mowed, our offices cleaned, our warehouse maintained.


• Do you eBay? If you are a seller, you can donate a portion of your proceeds to Kids Against Hunger by registering with Mission Fish. They handle all the details - just make sure you designate your donation to go to Kids Against Hunger.
  

• Think about how often you use a search engine to search the internet. Wouldn't it be nice if you could support your favorite charity while doing so? Well, now you can by making GoodSearch your default search engine and choosing Kids Against Hunger as the default charity. You can also shop online at GoodShop (choose from more than 500 great stores incl. Amazon, Best Buy, Dell, PetSmart, and Wal-Mart) and designate Kids Against Hunger as the charity to receive a portion of the purchase price. It's that easy! 

• You could take the big plunge and become a member of our growing network of partners and satellites.
