World Food Program - 25 cents fills a cup

Drew Barrymore is one of the Ambassador's for the World Food Program and she writes about here experience with the WFP and how the change in your pocket can make a difference.

One person's quarter can fill a child's cup with food.

Everyone can be a part of saving another person's life. The numbers continue to astonish me in their ability to bring nourishment and education to those children -- 25 cents a day, $5 a month, $50 a year can feed a child and offer them the opportunity for an education, which is a fundamental right.

Drew keeps a WFP red cup on her desk and writes that the cup "carries in it stories of children and families struggling, that carries in it the message that just the smallest amount of money will fill that cup and will feed a child and will educate that child and give her the chance to continue through this world and make a difference of her own."

Canadians can receive a tax receipt using their online donation form.
