Today is World Food Day. Nov. 6, 2013, is One Meal One Day*. Between now and then, we’re hosting a scavenger hunt…complete with prizes.
- T-shirts

To participate, take pictures of the following scavenger hunt items between now and 9 p.m. MT on Nov. 6, 2013. Each item will earn you contest entries. Some items will earn you more entries than others.
The photos fall into several categories, each highlighting a different aspect of the One Meal One Day campaign*: blessing, waste, need and advocacy.
A Child Eating…maybe even a shot of a child with food all over his or her face
A Family Gathering [involving food]…perhaps a photo of saying grace
Food Being Served…at a homeless shelter, at a restaurant, at home, etc.
A Shopping Cart…preferably from a grocery store
A Vegetable Garden, or someone working in his or her garden
Inside Your Refrigerator
Vitamins
A School Cafeteria
Food That Has Been Thrown Away…in a garbage can, dumpster, on the street, etc.
A Word or Message Written With Food (e.g., pepperoni, Hershey’s Kisses, jelly beans, peas, etc.)
Share your photos in Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, Google+, etc., then come back here and post the URL to your photo in the widget at the end of this post to get your contest entries.
- We understand having to come back to this post to paste your URL in the widget is annoying, but it’s necessary to ensure we have a verifiable pool of entries (i.e., we don’t miss any) to randomly select our winners from.
*Although Compassion has since retired the One Meal One Day initiative mentioned in this article, we are SO thankful for everyone who participated in the life-changing movement!
