This is some very good news.

National Blueberry Month is here and throughout the month share how you enjoy blueberries on social media. For each post, a donation of $1 will be made by the U.S. Highbush Blueberry Council to benefit No Kid Hungry. Each tagged post on Instagram, Facebook or Twitter (@blueberries), as well as TikTok (@blueberrycouncil), will help raise up to $50,000, which can help provide 500,000 meals for kids around the country. Each post also doubles as an entry for a chance to win a Mood Boost Wellness Package of an Apple Watch Series 7, a $50 VISA® gift card, and a Cosori 5-qt. Air Fryer and blueberry treats.

The launch of the program was celebrated this week at a full garden of greenery, trees, and flora at a New York City rooftop party.  actress and producer Nicole Ari Parker hosted an immersive event at Gallow Green at the McKittrick Hotel. Guests were transported to a blueberry-inspired wonderland in a garden oasis, with a variety of blueberry-inspired cocktails, mocktails and hors d’oeuvres. The wellness-focused event also featured fitness activations with celebrity fitness trainer Joey Thurman, as well as meditation and yoga sessions with wellness and nutrition expert Mascha Davis.

“Blueberries just make people happy,” stated the actress and advocate to The Knockturnal during the soiree, which was a place of blissful summer delight all for a good cause.

“USHBC is on a journey to make blueberries the world’s favorite fruit – and that means helping more people get a boost of blue every day. Everyone deserves to enjoy the delicious taste and nutritious benefits of blueberries,” said Kasey Cronquist, President, of USHBC. “This July, we’re excited to rally blueberry fans and the blueberry industry to support No Kid Hungry. There’s no better way to celebrate National Blueberry Month than grabbing a boost of blue and giving a boost to a good cause.”

“Blueberries fit perfectly into a healthy lifestyle, especially for busy families. I eat blueberries every day – they’re nutritious, delicious and so easy! That’s why everyone loves them,” stated Parker. “I can’t wait to see the posts from blueberry fans across the country as they share how they enjoy blueberries for the 31-day challenge. We can all feel good and do good when we grab a boost of blue!”

Helping more people find access to fresh, healthy foods is especially important in the summer months. As many as 12 million children in the United States live in “food insecure” homes, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture – meaning their households don’t have enough food for every family member to lead a healthy life. During the school year, many children rely on school programs that offer lunch and, in many cases, breakfast and supper. When schools close for summer vacation, many of those meals disappear – meaning summer can be the hungriest time of year for kids in need.
