Sharpen Your Vocabulary, Feed the Hungry

The fact that many of us can actively implement nutrition into our lives by purposefully choosing certain foods while avoiding others or seeking out particular higher-priced products is truly something to be thankful for.

In the United States alone, 35.5 million citizens live in food-insecure households. Globally, current estimates categorize 800 million people as suffering from hunger and malnutrition.

You can help people all over the world while improving your own vocabulary over at Free Rice.

Developed by the same people who brought you The Hunger Site, Free Rice -- through the United Nations -- donates twenty grains of rice for every right answer you provide to an SAT-like "find the correct synonym" question.

Happy Holidays!
