Are You Going Orange for No Kid Hungry?

Are You Going Orange for No Kid Hungry?Orange is the color of hunger awareness, and September is the month to Go Orange for No Kid Hungry. I’m proud to be part of Moms Fighting Hunger … and I’ve gone orange! There are No Kid Hungry activities going on throughout September, so my Facebook and Twitter profiles will go orange all month.

This is an important cause!

More than 16 million kids in America struggle with hunger. (Source: USDA Household Food Security in the United States). That’s one in five kids or over 21% of all kids.

Moms Fighting Hunger Twibbon BadgeAlong with wearing orange, you can Go Orange on your Facebook pages and Twitter accounts, too. No Kid Hungry Facebook page has resources to use on Facebook. You can support Moms Fighting Hunger by putting a Moms Fighting Hunger Twibbon badge on your Facebook profile and/or Twitter profile. You can move the badge to wherever you want it on your picture, and make it the size you wish.

Going Orange for Both Adults and Kids

 

There are many ways both you and your kids can get involved in the No Kids Hungry campaign. Of course, we don’t want young children to be overly worried, but there are many ways even very young children can participate.

It’s great to get your kids involved in food drives and other activities to start the habit of volunteerism and making a difference from a young age. At any age, you can have fun with the idea of going orange. And for very young children, it’s a great way to reinforce the concept of the color orange.

If you’re a member of ABC Teach, you can print out an Orange Things booklet. If you’re not a member, your child could always cut and paste orange objects from catalogs and magazines to make your own Orange Things booklet. An orange scavenger hunt and orange crafts are wonderful ways to focus on the color orange, too.

Or do some pumpkin activities to reinforce the color orange. Pumpkin activities are fun this time of year anyway. I have a Montessori-inspired pumpkin unit at Living Montessori Now and a Pumpkin Unit Study Pinterest Board with lots of ideas for pumpkin activities of all kinds.

From the No Kid Hungry website, here’s a listing of No Kid Hungry ideas for parents and teachers (and a place where you can take the No Kid Hungry Pledge). Here ‘s a page of resources from No Kid Hungry, including a No Kid Hungry Kid Pledge and a page of stickers.

      Thanks for visiting, Sarah! I hadn’t heard of No Kid Hungry before last week, either … but I’m so glad to be participating in the cause now! 🙂
