One Meal One Smile
"WE BELIEVE THAT FOOD SCARCITY SHOULD NEVER EXIST BECAUSE THE EARTH IS TOO ABUNDANT.”
It's heartening to know that efforts are being made in the United States to address the issue of food insecurity among children. Approximately 1 in 10 children live in a food-insecure household, which means around 17 million young ones are affected by hunger. It's crucial that we continue working together to provide these children with the proper nutrition they need to thrive, ensuring they have the opportunity to lead healthy, happy, and successful lives.
We are thrilled to have introduced One Meal, One Smile, a program designed to provide individuals with enough food to sustain them through the weekend. This initiative not only relieves families' stress about their next meal but also empowers children to flourish.
What's in a Meal Pack?
In every One Meal, One Smile pack, you'll find five essential items to brighten someone's day: a nourishing meal, protein, fresh fruit, clean water, a tasty snack, and a smile. By combining donated goods with purchased items, we ensure that every family in need receives a reliable Meal Pack.
How One Meal, One Smile Works
Your support as sponsors and donors is absolutely vital to our One Meal, One Smile program. With a simple $3 donation, you can help fill a belly and bring a heartwarming smile of gratitude. By committing to a yearly donation of $156, you can truly make a lasting impact. It's thanks to the unwavering dedication of our volunteers, as well as the support of loyal sponsors and donors like you, that Diaconia's operations continue to thrive and make a real difference.
