World Porridge Day
October 10 · Level 2 · #1826 of 2238
World Porridge Day gives a familiar breakfast a charitable purpose. Linked with the school-feeding organisation Mary's Meals, it draws attention to food access and raises support for children to receive meals at school.
How it is celebrated: supporters cook porridge, host shared breakfasts and collect donations. Recipe swaps and favourite toppings bring a little variety to a simple bowl, whether the choice is fruit, spice or something more adventurous.
A school meal can support education as well as ease hunger. Knowing food will be available gives children another reason to attend class.
