The holiday season is a time for gratitude, generosity, and gathering around the table. But for millions of people, a nourishing meal is not guaranteed. In the United States, more than 47 million people, including nearly 14 million children, experienced food insecurity in 2023, meaning they did not always know where their next meal would come from. That’s 1 in 7 Americans and nearly 1 in 5 children facing hunger in communities across the country.

The idea behind Donate a Lunch is simple: give the amount you might spend on a typical lunch, a coffee and sandwich, or a meal during your workday to help someone facing hunger. 

For many of us, a meal is part of our everyday routine. But for families struggling to make ends meet, putting food on the table can be a daily worry. Your small act of generosity can help provide nourishing meals to individuals and families across America who need it most. 

By giving up the cost of just one lunch, you can help put food on someone else’s table. Together, our small sacrifices can ease the burden of hunger, restore hope, and remind those in need that they are not forgotten. 

Through the Donate a Lunch Campaign, Humanity First USA invites individuals, families, businesses, schools, and community groups to transform the spirit of giving into meaningful action for those facing food insecurity this holiday season.
