Child Hunger

Host a Canned Food Drive, register it with Do Something, and have a chance at winning lunch cooked by Rocco DiSpirito (from that show The Restaurant) in your school’s Cafeteria!

38.2 million people—including 14 million children—live in households that experience hunger or the risk of hunger.  That represents more than one in ten households in the United States. In 2005 the Canadian Salvation Army food program had to help over 1 million people, over 50% were families with children.

Hosting a nutritious canned food drive at school might seem like something your parents did back in the 1960s, but it is still important! In fact, more important than ever. So take the Thanks/Giving challenge, make sure you register your school’s canned food drive with us this holiday season and Del Monte Foods will match the cans raised by the top three schools!

Global Extreme Poverty

Did you know that around the world, over a billion people live on less than a $1 a day? And almost 3 billion live on less than $2 a day?  This holiday season, Let’s Do Something about it. 

Join young people nationwide as we raise money to lift an African village out of poverty. $25 can feed four school children for an entire year, and even $10 can save two lives from malaria

Donate some extra cash, hold a fundraiser, do whatever it takes. 100% of your donation will be invested in a village in Africa. Join youth nationwide in the fight to eradicate extreme poverty and see what a difference your dollar can make!
