This United Nations app makes it easy to help fight hunger in refugee camps and developing nations. Donations start at US $0.50, and are one-off, with the option (but no pressure) to schedule monthly payments.
Every question I could think of to ask about ShareTheMeal and its associated program is explained clearly in the FAQs, and there are well-integrated options for building or joining fundraising teams, sharing on social media, and scheduling reminders.
I also appreciate being able to choose where (out of several different initiatives) my donation goes to help — the need is real in each situation, but different people may feel most strongly about a particular food crisis.
While I live below the poverty line in the United States, I’m well aware of the privileges I in particular hold, and of the basic necessities living in a developed nation affords me.
Even when I don’t feel I have much, knowing that a $0.50 donation will provide an entire day’s food for someone’s child means I can still help, and that ability is precious to me. Together, we can make sure people have tomorrows. —And brighter tomorrows, at that.
