Fighting Hunger through Social MediaIt doesn’t matter how busy you are or what kind of budget you have. You can still do a lot to help fight hunger during Hunger Action Month throughout September.

If you have children, you can often involve them in simple service projects. In the Moms Fighting Hunger Blog Hop collection below, you’ll find lots of ideas for involving your children. But even if your children are too young to be involved, there’s a lot you can do simply through social media.

Following are some ideas you can use to make a difference through social media alone.

How You can Help through Social Media

Sign the No Kid Hungry Pledge

You can add force to the fight against childhood hunger by taking the pledge to end childhood hunger and joining Team No Team Hungry.

Go Orange

Orange is the color for hunger awareness, and there are a number of ways you can “go orange.”

DebChitwood_MomsFightingHungerIf you’re a mom, you can join us through Moms Fighting Hunger. Follow the Moms Fighting Hunger Facebook page for inspiration and ways you can help. You can add a Moms Fighting Hunger Twibbon badge to your Facebook or Twitter profile photo. This is what my @DebChitwood Twitter and Facebook profiles look like during September.

But there are other ways you can go orange to draw attention to Hunger Action Month. You can download images for your Facebook profile and pages from No Kid Hungry or Feeding America. (Check out how I’ve gone orange on the Bits of Positivity Facebook page.)

Tweet about Hunger Action Month

Follow the hashtags #MomsFightHunger and #NoKidHungry on Twitter. You’ll find lots of great tweets to retweet there. Be sure to join the TwEAT Out on Monday, September 16.

Share Resources and Events Online to Help Fight Hunger

You can help fight hunger in September and through the year by following Moms Fighting Hunger on both Facebook and Pinterest. You can even help earn money to fight hunger through a number of the campaigns. At various times, businesses will donate money for each tweet or share online.

I invite you to share my free graphics. If you’d like a graphic to promote the fight against hunger, please feel free to use any of my free printables. Of course, please link to my blog so others can find the graphics, too.

    I agree with Deb that for what kind of budget you are and how much time you have. still you could do much better shares and generate traffic with social media.

    Dear Deb
    I found your site tonight, searching for inspirational sayings about fighting hunger. Looking for beautiful things I could add to my facebook page FeedingWashington’sHungry and my website?
    I am in a big need of inspiration right now. I have made a promise that I intend to raise up and follow through. Donating to Washington’s Northwest Harvest That serves food banks and schools in need.
    I just released a country CD of 17 of my songs. Soon as I got the first modest order in the mail, I knew they would be used for something good. That night, 2 AM I woke up, got up, opened the computer and typed in non-profit Northwest and Northwest Harvest was looking back at me!
    I met them this week and I know this is my calling.
    However, party of 1, trying to get the word out, sell CDs in this competitive world, is not easy.
    I am writing to ask if I can use a couple of your nice sayings?
    Also, OUR HOME IS ORANGE! I am a single mom. I know hard times. I told my daughter that the reason I can speak out for hunger is because I have lived it. And, that seeing your site here, I learned the color of hunger is ORANGE. She said WOW!

    Thank you for the beautiful postings you are doing. My CDS (THE GARDEN OF MY SOUL) and more info about this project is on my website.
    Laurie Lee Lewis 🙂
