Pledge to End Hunger Campaign: Why Hunger and Why Now?

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.

Wanted: Champions for the Hunger Pledge

by Scott Henderson

On Thursday, we will launch PledgeToEndHunger.com, a website designed to shine a bright light on the very real problem of childhood hunger in America.

This website is a joint effort of Tyson Foods, Share Our Strength, Hum. Minds at Work., Kompolt, and MediaSauce. It is designed to make it easy for people to do something meaningful in the short-term and create a dialogue about solving the root issues.

Harnessing the Excitement of SXSW ‘09
With thousands of highly connected people converging later this month for South by Southwest 2009 (SXSW ‘09) in Austin, Texas, we plan to harness everyone’s excitement to help deliver a Tyson semi-trailer truck full of food products to the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas. This will provide 140,000 meals for children in Austin. more
