Operation No Kid Hungry

I was recently contacted by Kari Rippetoe of Share Our Strength and asked to say a few words about their new program, "Operation No Kid Hungry," on my blog.

Share Our Strength has launched a brand new campaign to raise funds to help end childhood hunger. "Operation No Kid Hungry" responds to President-elect Obama's call to action to end childhood hunger by 2015. Share Our Strength has partnered with AT&T to offer two great ways that you can support and participate in "Operation No Kid Hungry":

  1. Donate by text: Text "SHARE" to 20222 on your mobile device to donate $5. AT&T will match all text donations up to $100,000. Find out more here.

  2. Hold a food drive: Beginning January 19th, a national day of community service, help feed those in need by holding your own community food drive. Visit http://strength.org to find a food bank and a list of the most needed nutritious foods.
For more information about "Operation No Kid Hungry" and how you can help end childhood hunger, visit Share Our Strength's website: http://strength.org/.

There are also more ways you can help get the word out, including banners for your blog and social networking pages here.

Hey Cassie! Thanks for passing along the info. Do you mind if I cut and pass this on to my blog? I'll also add a link back to you.

I really enjoy reading your blog! I realized that we are both doing the same things basically - working at a bakery and doing cupcakes on the side. Yay for young women in business!

Hi Cassie,

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
