This is a great community service opportunity for FCCLA chapters and students!
M&M’S® Brand and Habitat for Humanity® are teaming up to M’PROVE AMERICA™ by challenging Americans to pledge 1.5 million minutes of time spent on Facebook to help build/restore homes in their communities.
To get involved, simply connect with the M’PROVE AMERICA™ app to get a breakdown of your Facebook activity and learn how that time could be used to help build homes in partnership with low-income families. Then, pledge up to 8 hours of your Facebook time to volunteer at a Habitat for Humanity® site near you. Once you’re signed up, throw on some boots, grab some friends and join us at your Habitat for Humanity® site. While volunteering, remember to take pics, post about your day and encourage your friends to do the same.
To access the M’PROVE AMERICA app go to https://www.facebook.com/mms/app_253980741400217
