Fun, Free Ways To Fight Hungar

Do you want to give $50 of someone else's money toward helping feed America's families? Sure you do!



Feeding America has a 50-question quiz on its website. For each multiple-choice question answered correctly, Kraft Food Foundation will donate $1.(They let you keep guessing until you get all 50 right). So far Kraft has donated more than $50,000 in response to the quiz. Nice!

I enjoy trivia. Not to help you cheat, but I learned things like a camel's milk does not curdle, Corn Flakes were invented to improve the lives of hospital patients, and broccoli was invented by crossing cauliflower seeds with pea seeds. Who knew?

Click here to take the quiz.

DISCLAIMER: The site will ask you to enter your name and email address in order to submit.

Reminds me of another creative anti-hungar campaign, Free Rice, a nonprofit website run by the United Nations World Food Program. Check it it out here.



Ten grains of rice are donated for each correctly defined word. Over 81 billion grains have been donated to date. Increase your vocabulary and fight hungar at the same time, all from the comfort of your home or office!

So next time you're bored (at work?), you can play these games and if anyone asks, just say you are doing your part to end world hungar.

It's a rough job, but somebody's got to do it.
