Halloween is all about spooky costumes, delicious candy and trick-or-treating, but why not add being a “Hunger Hero” to the festivities? This year, tens of thousands of students across Canada will be helping to raise one million pounds of food to donate to local food banks in support of Free The Children’s We Scare Hunger campaign!
Schools have been collecting canned and non-perishable food items all month long, but tomorrow is the night when the Hunger Heroes really spring into action! Youth across the country will be taking to the streets of their communities to trick-or-treat for food donations and spread the word!
Free The Children has teamed up with the Campbell Company of Canada for this important cause. Last year, North America raised more than 850,000 pounds of food and this year, their goal is one million pounds!
Did you know that 870 million people around the world go hungry every day and some of these people may be living in your community? This Halloween, scare hunger by not just collecting candy, but canned food donations to help someone in need.
