On World Humanitarian Day, we recognize aid workers who put the needs of others before their own. The big and small acts of kindness from philanthropists worldwide inspire our team here at Mighty Spark to give back, which is why we use our business as a force for good.

Because there is need in each and every community, there’s no shortage for how your time and talents can improve the lives of others. Here are a few ways you can take action to help out in your community.

Volunteer: Give The Gift Of Time

Feeding America, the nation’s largest domestic hunger-relief organization, has a network of hundreds of food banks and soup kitchens nationwide that rely on volunteers to get nutritious food into the hands and homes of underprivileged families. Food scarcity impacts more than 40 million Americans, so people in every community in the U.S. rely on food banks to help them during difficult times.

Purchasing Power

There are numerous companies and brands committed to social causes. As a consumer, you can choose to support brands that donate funds, food or time, making your dollars go farther. At Mighty Spark, we’re on a mission to spark change by donating a meal to someone in need through each purchase consumers make. Thanks to your support, we’re donating one meal every 13 seconds this year, so together, we’re providing meals and hope to those who need it.
