Blog entry One Million Registered Freericers, And Counting!
It’s official. As of today, you are playing alongside ONE MILLION registered Freerice players! This milestone represents a significant step in our online movement to end hunger. Together, by doing our small part, we’ve earned BILLIONS of grains of rice for the world’s hungriest through the UN World Food Programme (WFP).
Nancy Roman, WFP Director of Communications, Public Policy and Private Partnerships had this to say: “When one million people each do their small part, the collective effect is beyond impressive—it’s extraordinary.”
Freericers hail from over 179 countries, answering almost 2.5 million trivia questions daily. From all walks of life, we are united by one cause – the fight against hunger. We come together to play and learn, while providing meals to those who need it most. Take a look at this infographic for other great information
Since June 2011, all rice raised has supported . By encouraging kids to attend school and helping them to learn better when they get there, daily school meals are an essential investment in the next generation.
Recently Freerice, reached another milestone: were were named one of the best charity sites of 2011 by Netted, an online publication by the Webbys that covers the best of the web.
We can never say this enough: thank you to all the Freericers who help to make Freerice the powerful tool that it is in the fight against hunger!
We look forward to "ricing up” against hunger with all of you in 2012!
Freerice is maintained by and supports the United Nations World Food Programme, the world's largest humanitarian organization fighting hunger worldwide. To find out more go to WFP.org

My students love doing trivia on freerice.com!!!
I'm soooooo happy to know that people think about them who suffer from hunger!!!
Thaaaaank you for fighting together against hunger!!!
This is a great chance to help people thank you freerice.com!!!
How many grains of rice are in a cup of dry rice?
We are donating dry rice right?
I want to be able to donate a cup of rice everyday. From what I've seen over the internet (also, I know there are 7000 grains in a lb) there are about 7000 grains of dry rice in a cup. Is that what I need to work for everyday if I want to donate a cup a day?
BTW, a cup of dry rice is 4 servings of cooked rice. I hope I can help with this much daily.
I am glad to be a part of those millions of freericers. :)
Even though I didnt get first to post, i got 2nd! Good enough for me.
I'm so glad that there's a site like this! Let's feed some people!
I am happy to know that many players care about world hunger, and want to improve their overall skill level. I am impressed that there are over one million players that play alongside me on Freerice.
Best wishes to the future of Freerice!
love it love it love it
It is so great that so many people care about the hungry. We really are making a difference in the lives of millions.
Yeah Freerice players!! Let's keep up the good work and end hunger.
This is so awsome! It's amazing that million people care about the hungry (not that no-one does, you know what I mean)! I've played Free Rice for ages, but this is my second day since I made an account! Pretty cool.
it is sooooooooo cool marvi that freerice has over one million memebers. considiring that hundreds go on here everyday and donate rice to the hungery! :)
lets give these people FOOD!!!!
I love the concept behind freerice.com. With over one million users, I think that adding an up-to-date counter of rice being donated (as well as amounts received by organizations/countries) would be an essential feature for the website.
Yay! That's fantastic! I'm so proud of everyone who goes on here! I love this site and i'm so happy that i found this site a long time ago. (When i was like 14 or something.) you guys didn't have the login back then.
Today is Jan. 15 and I have NOT been able to play at all today. I log in, and when I hit the correct answer--NOTHING happens. I have logged in and out a number of times, and still I can't play. Please fix!

World commissariat reserve is reduced
" Hunger breeds discontentment", grain prices soaring involves thousands on thousands of people's interests.
From public interest, prices will increase the cost of living, which directly affect the lives of ordinary people; look from macroscopical economy angle, the subprime crisis in the United States and high oil prices in the background, soaring prices will increase many countries inflation pressure, making the world economy, especially in developing economies face more uncertain factors.
What is more serious is that, in the grain price rise at the same time, world commissariat reserve is reduced, food safety problem has become increasingly prominent. According to FAO estimates, the current global commissariat reserve has fallen to the lowest level since 1980.
