during this time of year, when we are so lucky for our bounty, why not help to feed someone else
and maybe learn something along the way?

Want to test your knowledge while helping end world hunger? freerice can make it happen. For every question you answer correctly in the trivia quiz, 10 grains of rice are donated to those in need. Since 2010, freerice has raised more than 214 billion grains of rice (equivalent to $1.5 million) for people around the world.

At the time of year, when we celebrate being thankful for our abundance, we must not forget those who have little to be thankful for. World hunger is a unique problem in that it is one we can fix if we want to. Great post, Beth!

Very cool! I expected ten questions, but it was still going after 50. Does it ever end, or is that the point? There is no end to hunger.
