AT&T Joins Forces With Share Our Strength to Feed Hungry Kids

Last month, we posted a story about Food Network chefs supporting Share Our Strength, a national organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger in America.

With their brand new campaign, Operation No Kid Hungry, Share Our Strength is at it again, responding to President-Elect Obama’s call to end childhood hunger by 2015. Here’s how it works:

If you’re a texter (and who isn’t these days?), simply text the word “share” to 20222 on your mobile device to donate five dollars to Share Our Strength. The cool part: AT&T will match all text donations up to $100k!  Details here.

If you’re more of a hands-on-the-donation than fingers-on-the-keypad person, another way to donate is to hold a food drive. Between Jan 19th and Jan 31st, organize a food drive in your area to help kids in need during the coldest months of the year. For tips on how to organize a successful one, as well as a list of the most-needed foods, click here.

What better way to usher in the new year than to make sure a hungry child has a meal!

   Hi Lisa,

   Thank you so much for your support! It’s people like you who really make a difference, and together we can all help end childhood hunger.

   I encourage everyone to not only spread the word, but to donate in any way you can - either with a $5 text donation or with food.

   Best,
   Kari Rippetoe
