Food Community Service Activity

Ask the students how the "A day in the life..." discussions went with their families. Have the students tell the class some of their families' solutions to hunger and what they can do.

Tell the class that there are people in their community, city or state that are hungry and they are going to do something to help those people. Set up a food drive at your school. Have your class write information sheets to pass out to the other classes in the school about world hunger. Ask all of the students to bring in food items for a food shelf or homeless shelter.

Another idea is to host a fund-raising event at your school. The donation proceeds would be given to an organization that aid the hungry or homeless. Fundraising events could include a raffle, craft or baked goods sale. Encourage the students to be creative about raising monies to donate to their favorite organization.
