OMOD Lunch Line Promo from One Meal One Day on Vimeo.

We are now just a day away from One Meal, One Day. We will join with thousands of students from around the United States who are skipping a meal on Wednesday, April 21st in order to contribute the cost of that one meal (estimated at an average of about $5 per person) and give it to help feed hungry children across the global. Here are some easy ways to join us in the effort:

1. Join us in skipping lunch or dinner on Wednesday, April 21st and donate that $5 to one of the many students from Club 56, Souled Out or TREK that are taking part in this effort. (one note: if you are unable or not interested in actually skipping the meal, you can of course still donate to the cause.)

2. If you are unable to donate through one of these students but would sill like to give, you can simply text OMOD to 90999 and it will automatically send a $5 donation to the One Meal One Day program through your phone bill. (if you chose to donate via text and are comfortable letting me know that you donated that would be great, we are trying to track how much money we were able to raise to combat world hunger. You can jot me (Sterling) a message on facebook or on email at smoore@fbcg.com).

3. Influence other to join you in the effort. I believe that this generation of students can be the one that ends the plight of world hunger if we begin to think differently and act! One of the major components of action is making others aware of the reality and asking them to make the small sacrifice of joining in this effort. If nothing else, it should open the door to some interesting conversations.

Remember, every $5 that someone gives or texts in feeds a child for 12 days!!! Every $156 feeds a person for a year. Thank you for encouraging these students to get involved.

All funds that we receive will be donated directly to Compassion International.
