September includes both Hunger Action Month and September 11’s National Day of Service and Remembrance. In honor of both, I want to share some ideas of hunger awareness activities for kids.

Hunger Awareness Activities for Kids

For the last few years, I’ve enjoyed participating in Moms Fighting Hunger and No Kid Hungry activities during September. I’ve been amazed at all the creative ideas I’ve seen online for helping kids get involved.

Hunger Awareness Activities for Kids

“Sesame Street: Growing Hope Against Hunger Highlight Reel”

“Every Can Counts” by the Children of Moms Fighting Hunger

You’ll find lots of great hunger awareness activities for kids in the Moms Fighting Hunger blog hops:

  • 2013 (view the linkup here)
  • 2014

I also want to highlight a few inspiring blog posts and hunger awareness resources for kids.

Using Children's Books to Raise Awareness about Hunger

I have a roundup post featuring creative ways for “Using Children’s Books to Raise Awareness about Hunger.”
