#BeCharitable

Be aware of needs around you...and then give with abandon. Identify problems. Find creative solutions. Give your time and your skill. Give with your friends. ​Give with your whole heart.

Meet Katie Stagliano, a teen who started a hunger relief initiative called Katie's Krops when she was just 9 years old! Yep! From a small after-school gardening project to a national non-profit, there are now 100 Katie's Krops gardens growing in schools across the country, and last year over 39,000 lbs of food was donated to soup kitchens, shelters & food banks! Katie became the Grand Prize winner of the inaugural General Mills Feeding Better Futures Scholars Program, and we HAD to learn more! Être interviewed Katie to learn all about how she got started (a 40 lb cabbage), her thoughts on food rescue and where she's headed. Check out our interview, the video & the photos below–and to get more involved  follow @katieskrops everywhere!

Now let's think about WHERE
can you volunteer?

This part depends on a few things: your age, where you live and whether you have access to a bike, a computer, public transportation or an extra-nice person willing to drive you places. But remember, regardless of the answer to any of these, there are loads of great volunteer opportunities waiting for you!

 These are examples of Charity Finders…just tell them what you love and let them find your perfect match! Click below to enter each site.

Finally, if you've found a cause you believe in but can't find an easy place to volunteer, go ahead and start your own service club! See the examples below for inspiration and remember: the world needs you - your ideas, your energy and your willingness to get creative!
