Focus on World Vision Partnership: Two Meals for One

We here at Snapfinger are pretty excited about our service. The website has a beautiful interface, and our company has already accumulated more locations in more cities than all 10 of the biggest competitors combined. How's that for selection?

Still, it's not uncommon around the office to hear one coworker remind another that at the end of the day, our service "just gets people their food 15 minutes faster." And while I'm sure that our customers' hunger is real and that they appreciate their meals getting to the table in a quick and convenient fashion, I'm glad I can say that the company that I work for does not ignore those in real need.

Sixteen million children die of starvation each year, but through a partnership with World Vision, a worldwide humanitarian organization, Snapfinger is doing something about that. For each meal you order through us (at the restaurant's normal price and no more), Snapfinger donates the monetary equivalent of a meal to World Vision, who distributes food to hungry children elsewhere in the world.

I say "elsewhere in the world" because that truly is the scope of our partner's efforts. Just look through their website and you'll be astounded by the number of countries they're involved in; the nations receiving donations amount to almost 100 over six continents. From the desperate in African locales like Mali to the poor in Appalachia of the United States, World Vision is literally lending a hand to the globe.

And food isn't all they give. The variety of education programs offered around the world is staggering, and the fields they encompass range from business and economics to hygeine and food preservation. World Vision also has many programs that your church or faith group can participate in (such as "Caregiver Kits" and "Appalachia Service Trips"), a traditional sponsor-a-child program (similar to the ads seen on TV), and well-equipped disaster relief teams that work all over (they're in the Congo and Sudan at the moment).

In short, it's the sort of foundation any company would want to be affiliated with, and Snapfinger automatically makes direct donations without any additional cost, so each order you make equals another meal for a hungry child.

Think of it as two-for-one every day. That's what we're most excited about.
