Operation No Kid Hungry

     Share Our Strength, a national non-profit addressing childhood hunger, has launched a new initiative called Operation No Kid Hungry.  This initiative is working to help feed the more than 12 million children in American that are at risk of hunger.  According to Share Our Strength:

"Local food banks are struggling to meet an unprecedented demand. The number of families with children needing emergency food is growing faster than the food banks can support them. At the same time, donations of food and money are declining while the costs of buying and transporting food are increasing."

     To help address this crisis, Share Our Strength wants to enlist you in Operation No Kid Hungry. 

Here are three things you can do to raise funds to help end childhood hunger and to help get food directly to those who need it most:

1. Make a text donation: Donate $5 to the campaign to end childhood hunger by texting "SHARE" to 20222 on your mobile phone (standard text messaging rates apply).  AT&T will match all text donations up to $100,000.  Donations from the text program will help provide food for the millions of children at risk of hunger in America and will help address the recent increase in demand for food aid across the nation.

2. Give food to a food bank:  Contact your local food bank to find out what food items it especially needs and how to donate.

3. Coordinate a food drive:  By organizing a food drive in your community, you can elist others in getting food to those who need it most.  Just follow the simple steps in How To Hold A Successful Food Drive provided by Share Our Strength.

Thank you for writing about such important organizations. I created a company in memory of my 28 year old sister, Liz, who died from breast cancer. Uptown Liz (www.uptownliz.com) promotes products from companies whose proceeds go to charity. You can shop on this one-of-a-kind Web site by charitable cause or product category, knowing that every time you make a purchase you are making a difference. There are many great art, clothing, jewelry, house wares, beauty and eco-friendly products (just to name a few) that benefit charities all over the world.
