Giving Back

Feeding America, our primary charity, is the nation's leading domestic hunger-relief charity. Any profits made from the sale of our t-shirts will be donated to Feed the Hungry. Their mission is to feed America's hungry through a nationwide network of member food banks and engage our country in the fight to end hunger.Each year, the Feeding America network provides food to more than 37 million low-income people facing hunger in the United States, including more than 14 million children and nearly 3 million seniors.

For every $1 donated, Feeding America helps provide 7 meals to men, women and children facing hunger in our country. For more information, visit their website at www.feedingamerica.org

Bite Back - "If you think you’re too small to make a difference, try sleeping in a room with a mosquito." Every African knows this is true because mosquitoes carry malaria—a tropical disease that kills over 750,000 children each year. That’s one child every 30 seconds. In Africa, mosquitoes make a huge difference in the lives of poor families and children. And it all starts with a tiny bite.

Malaria begins with a bite. We believe that generation change can end malaria with an even bigger bite. The BITE BACK campaign is mobilizing youth around the country to purchase 300,000 mosquito nets to protect African children from malaria. Let’s be the generation that ends malaria.

Hoops of Hope is the world’s largest free-throw marathon. Similar to a walk-a-thon, participants raise awareness and funds for children who have been orphaned by HIV/AIDS by shooting free throws. 100% of all funds raised through our free throw marathons go directly to care for orphan children in highly affected areas. This year, participants from all over the world, will shoot thousands of free throws to represent the thousands of kids orphaned each day. We will be raising money to build staff housing and a cafeteria at the school we helped to build in 2007. Last year, we built four dormitories for the children but learned the teachers are still sleeping in the classrooms. With your help, we can change this. We're also going to provide thousands of backpacks full of school supplies for these children. You can sign up by clicking REGISTER FOR EVENT.

FreeRice is a non-profit website run by the United Nations World Food Program. Our partner is the Berkman Center for Internet & Society at Harvard University.

FreeRice has two goals:
1. Provide education to everyone for free.
2. Help end world hunger by providing rice to hungry people for free.
This is made possible by the generosity of the sponsors who advertise on this site.

Whether you are CEO of a large corporation or a street child in a poor country, improving your education can improve your life. It is a great investment in yourself.

Perhaps even greater is the investment your donated rice makes in hungry human beings, enabling them to function and be productive. Somewhere in the world, a person is eating rice that you helped provide. For more info, check out their website at www.freerice.org
