Dial Into Giving with Champions for Kids
Did you know?
- According to the US Census, now over 1 in 5 children are living in poverty in the United States.
- In 2011, the number of Americans receiving food stamps hit an all-time high at 46.2 million people – almost 15% of the country!
- Food stamps cannot be used to buy soap, shampoo, or other basic household supplies necessary for good hygiene and healthy children.
- Children often do not have the basic personal care items that they need to feel confident and successful at school.

One in five children lives in poverty. That not good. Food stamps so get food but doesnt pay for toliet paper , soap and shampoo. This is a good idea. I know some people that donate samples size things they may get at hotels like shampoos and bars of soap which is very helpful .
looking forward to attending, and learning, and helping.
Thank you for the party hope I win so I can pay it forward to my community…….
