Did you know March is National Nutrition month? Last week Henry and I put together some packages for our local food bank with Ella’s Kitchen and Earth’s Best and their partnership with the charity No Kid Hungry whose mission is to end child hunger here in the U.S. We often do charitable activities during the holidays like donating toys or working at a food kitchen, so it was nice to do something outside of the month of December. Here are some photos of our afternoon…

I was pretty surprised to find out how many students come to school hungry every day here in the United States (1 in 5 kids!). Even with breakfast offered at school, it’s still an increasing problem. You can read more about it on the No Kid Hungry website. I love when good quality, organic brands like Ella’s Kitchen and Earth’s Best are trying to help do something about that problem by partnering with No Kid Hungry. They’ve donated over 1.5 million free meals to kids here in our country who need them. You can buy the Ella’s Kitchen and Earth’s Best pouches with specially marked No Kid Hungry packaging only at select Walmarts.

After organizing the food into three bags, we headed out to donate them at a food bank. There were several food banks right in our neighborhood, including a bank and the YMCA. We dropped off our bags on the way to the library that afternoon.  What charitable activities do you do with your kids?  I’d love to make this a regular activity for our family.
