Support hungry families in America at the click of a mouse!

Feeding America has a trivia quiz on its website. For each of the 50 multiple-choice question answered correctly, Kraft Food Foundation will donate $1. (They let you keep guessing until you get all 50 right). So far Kraft has donated more than $50,000 in response to the quiz.


Trivia is great, and you never know when it will come in handy -- for example, did you know that a camel's milk does not curdle, Corn Flakes were invented to improve the lives of hospital patients, and broccoli was invented by crossing cauliflower seeds with pea seeds? Who knew?


Click here to take the quiz.


Ten grains of rice are donated for each correctly defined word, and it's fun to see your rice bowl fill up with each right answer. Over 81 billion grains have been donated to date!



Increase your vocabulary and fight hunger at the same time, all from the comfort of your home or office!So next time you're bored, you can play these games and if anyone asks, just say you are doing your part to end world hunger.


Reminds me of another creative anti-hungar campaign, Free Rice, a nonprofit website run by the United Nations World Food Program. Check it out!
