Together We Can Outnumber Hunger! #OutnumberHunger #PlatefullCoOp #spon

“Disclosure: This post is sponsored by General Mills via Platefull Co-Op.”

Did you know that 1 in 6 Americans struggles with hunger?

That’s more than 49 million people – and 13 million families – across the U.S.  That’s why General Mills has teamed up with Feeding America®, Big Machine Label Group, and Target to Outnumber Hunger in local communities.

Join the Cause and Help Outnumber Hunger in Your Community!

Simply purchase specially-marked General Mills products and enter codes from these packages at OutnumberHunger.com. For every code you enter by January 31, 2015, General Mills will donate 55.5¢ to Feeding America – enough to secure 5 meals on behalf of local food banks. It’s that easy!

General Mills has already donated $600,000. And, they’re prepared to donate up to an additional $600,000 based on online code entry and other consumer actions, up to a maximum total donation of $1,200,000. Visit www.OutnumberHunger.com for details – and other ways to trigger donations to Feeding America.

When you buy 5 select Outnumber Hunger items in one visit at participating Target Stores, you can take home an EXCLUSIVE Outnumber Hunger Now CD complimentary ($4.99 retail value). The CD features an incredible lineup of favorite artists:

These are brands that I already love and currently buy!  Just today, I hit the grocery store and picked up Motts Applesauce, Nature Valley Granola Bars, Cheerios and Yoplait for the kids.  When you buy the items you normally buy and they are specially marked, make sure you and enter codes.  Who knew, by just purchasing items you do normally, you can help combat hunger in America!

I have joined  the fight against hunger and you should too!   It honestly amazes me the amount of people locally that go with out food, let alone the children.  It is the little things you can do to help.  Send and extra box of snack to the school teacher, so she had something to give to the kids who don't have snacks.  See a good sale, pick up double of your groceries and drop a bag off at a food pantry.   Also make sure to but the products with the special codes! Together we can help secure meals for local food banks!
