I've admired the Hunger Site for years. Great way to start the day.
From their common questions page:
It seems to me the best way to honor their intentions is to click once per day as an individual, from whichever one of your web-capable computers or phones or tablets is most convenient for you that day. If it works for you, it's simplest for them if this is done when you're not accessing the Internet through a corporate network. This prevents their additional server load needed to interpret proxy requests.
Most importantly, tell other people about the site. This gives them an opportunity to raise their own consciousness as well, at least for a little time each day.

Quote:Our agreement with our sponsors allows us to count one click, per person, per calendar day. A monitoring system is set up to check this. While you could click on the button ten or a hundred or a thousand times, we will only count one click from you. In the meantime, our system could be slowed down, possibly overloaded, preventing other visitors' clicks from generating funding. Please note that we count clicks received through company firewalls, proxy servers, etc., to the best of our ability. We count every click as fairly and accurately as possible.
