Supporters visit the site and click everyday on the orange "Click Here to Give - it's FREE" button. These clicks are recorded by their servers and a Thank You page is displayed after each click displaying ads from their site sponsors.

You don't need to click on the ads and there is no cost to you. 100% of the ad revenue generated through clicks is directed to The Hunger site charitable partners. The more people click, the more cups of food they can fund to the hungry.

All the clicks from supporters are tabulated and then site sponsors are billed accordingly for the appropriate amount. The funds generated are then distributed to the charitable partners. For this cause, the funds are divided between two leading hunger relief organizations: Mercy Corps and Feeding America.

Supporters can click once daily, every day of the year at The Hunger Site. An internal system is set up to monitor one click per supporter, per calendar day. If you click multiple times in one day, only one click will count.

The Hunger Site is the first site that was created in the growing GreaterGood Network of cause-related sites. The other sites are The Breast Cancer Site, The Child Health Site, The Literacy Site, The Rainforest Site, and The Animal Rescue Site. People with internet access can make a huge difference through these click-to-give sites.

Each site focuses on a specific need like hunger, animal rescue, breast cancer, etc. and gives supporters a chance to various charities with this simple, yet powerful click-to-give concept and by shopping to give more. This support in turn translates to funding for established non-profit organizations that implement vital programs and initiatives.
