We all love saving money when we shop online. Whether we are looking for discount codes to save money on shoes, bathing suits, or that piece we need to fix our slowly dying washing machine…..we all want to keep our hard earned dollars. Finding out that you can save money and help feed hungry children at the same time while shopping online is not just great news to file away….it is something that can be acted upon right away!
This post on making a difference while shopping online is brought to you by Save1, who compensated me for my time. Opinions and experiences shared here are all my own and I hope you enjoy them.
Childhood hunger is something we cannot ignore. Children are dying from a lack of food. Save1.com is a family owned coupon and loyalty site representing more than 5,000 of the top online merchants. When someone shops from Save1 to save money they provide a healthy meal to a malnourished child through a non-profit feeding organization. Save1’s feeding partners include Action Against Hunger, Feeding America, Feed My Starving Children, and Project Peanut Butter.
In the past 7 months Save1 has provided more than 100,000 meals throughout the United States and the world. That’s a pretty big accomplishment for a company that launched in October of 2012.
Six million children die from malnutrition every year. That breaks down to:
- 17,000 children a day
- 700 every hour
- 12 every minute
- 1 every 5 seconds
“If you can’t feed a hundred people, then just feed one.” – Mother Theresa
Each time you use a coupon or special offer, at Save1 you save money and your purchase provides a nutritious meal to a hungry child. If you are not shopping in the near future there are 3 other ways you can help feed a malnourished child.
