SPONSORED CONTENT -- (StatePoint) Did you know that on any given night, 1 in 5 children in the United States will go to bed hungry? Fortunately, efforts are being made to help end childhood hunger, and there’s a way for you to get involved through your everyday choices.
As part of Feed the Children’s Put Child Hunger to Bed campaign, StarKist is joining as a partner and inviting consumers to take part in the fight against childhood hunger. From May 1 through Sept. 30, you can participate in the campaign in two simple but meaningful ways:
1. Every time you purchase a StarKist tuna pouch, StarKist will donate one pouch to Feed the Children, up to 100,000 pouches. Offered in more than 20 varieties that are convenient and ready-to-eat, each StarKist tuna pouch is seasoned, fully cooked and delivers 12 grams or more of protein, making it a simple, nutritious choice that can also help support families experiencing hunger.
2. In addition, StarKist will match donations dollar-for-dollar, up to $100,000, to further support children and families across the United States.
Together, these efforts help provide meals and resources for children and families who need them, turning everyday purchases into meaningful support.
Helping bring the campaign to life is Platinum-selling musician Jax (@jax), who boasts 14.7 million TikTok followers. Not only is she widely recognized for her inspiring music, she is enthusiastically using her platform for good.
“Becoming a mom has given me an even deeper perspective. No child should have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. I’m grateful to be in a position where I am able to help raise awareness and support families who need it most,” said Jax.
