Pledge to End Hunger Campaign: Why Hunger and Why Now?
by mediasauce
Childhood hunger is a very real problem in America.
Throughout the year, one out of six children in America worries about when their next meal will come. That’s more than 12 million children at risk of hunger, reports Share Our Strength, a national organization that works hard to make sure no kid in America grows up hungry.
Today, as the recession deepens and unemployment rises, more American families are facing hunger for the first time. A record 30 million Americans are on food stamps, and food banks face unprecedented demand.
MediaSauce believes that no child deserves to go hungry and we are committed to help end this solvable problem. Last week, we launched the Pledge to End Hunger campaign in partnership with Share Our Strength, Tyson Food, Hum. Minds at Work., and Kompolt.
The Pledge to End Hunger web site challenges visitors to help spread the word about childhood hunger in America, find ways to get involved with a food bank in their area, and donate money to Share Our Strength. The site encourages also a deeper dialogue about the issue with a blog focused on this initiative and ways to collaboratively solve the roots of this problem.
