Help us reach the goal of 150,000 meals.

Take the #PaperPlateChallenge!

This year, due in part to the coronavirus pandemic, 13 million children nationally – 1 in every 6 kids – may not know where they will get their next meal. But you can help! For every use of the #DoGoodFeedKids hashtag this November and December, National Life Group will donate $1 to food banks in our home states Vermont and Texas up to $50,000—that’s enough for 150,000 meals!

Here’s how to take the challenge:

1.  Write with a marker on a paper plate something you are grateful for this holiday season.
2.  Take a photo or a video of yourself holding the plate and share on social media.
3.  In the caption (and in the video, if you’re up for that), say that:

a)  I’m taking the #PaperPlateChallenge!
b)  I’m grateful for ________. Here’s why _________.
c)  Unfortunately, 1 in 6 kids may not know where they will get their next meal this holiday season. Here’s how I’m going to help: (commit to donating your time, money, or food to a local or national food bank).

4.  Tag three friends, family members, or colleagues to join you in the challenge
5.  Make sure to include the hashtags #DoGoodFeedKids #PaperPlateChallenge #EndChildhoodHunger
