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!
No Kid Hungry: Food Network Chefs Help to End Childhood Hunger in America
Flay, De Laurentiis, Lagasse, Garten, Deen, Ray, Fieri…you KNOW you know these names! Food Network is one of those channels you can leave on all day long on a Saturday (and some of us do). But the celeb chefs are doing more than just whipping up deliciousness for the camera. Partnering with Share Our Strength, a national organization that raises funds and awareness to make sure no child in America grows up hungry, Food Network has committed themselves full-bore to the cause, holding events across the country, filming PSAs, and organizing other exciting programs.
