Sharing. It's One of the First and Most Important Rules of Childhood.
Did you know that every one in six children in America is hungry? In fact, more than 12 million American children are at risk of not getting meals on a regular basis. Hungry kids can't focus in school and lack the power to learn, so even if their hunger is temporary, the damage can last a lifetime.
Peter Pan Wants to Make Childhood Magical for all Children
Peter Pan® Peanut Butter believes that no child in the U.S. should grow up hungry. That's why Peter Pan Peanut Butter is making a donation that will provide more than 1 million meals to Feeding America™, the country's largest hunger relief organization. By providing meals to Feeding America, we can help spread magic and make a difference in the lives of hungry children and families all across the country.
Shining a Light
In addition to donating meals, Peter Pan Peanut Butter wants to raise awareness of childhood hunger in America—a largely "hidden" problem. Did you know?
- Children who miss a meal or don't eat on a regular basis are hungry–they don't need to be starving to be hungry.
- Hunger may be affecting your neighbor or one of your child's schoolmates.
- Some of the largest increases in food insecurity come from children of working families. Despite their hard work, many families are faced with tough decisions between putting food on the table or paying bills for rent, utilities, and healthcare and can't always make ends meet.
Peter Pan may never want to grow up, but he does want all children to grow up and to succeed in school and in life! Stay tuned to learn how you can help Peter Pan change the odds from one in six American children hungry to none in six American children hungry.
Peter Pan Peanut Butter's commitment to help end child hunger builds on a long-standing commitment by ConAgra Foods® and the ConAgra Foods Foundation to ensure children have access to the food and facts they need to live active, healthy lives. For more than 15 years, ConAgra Foods and the ConAgra Foods Foundation have partnered with Feeding America, contributing more than $30 million and 230 million pounds of food, including Peter Pan Peanut Butter.
