Share Our Strength is an organization dedicated to ending childhood hunger. Some food banks across the country are reporting a 40- to 50-percent increase in demand.
Share Our Strength’s “Operation No Kid Hungry” works with the Mobile Giving Foundation to raise funds for food banks across the country. By simply texting the word “SHARE” to 20222 on your mobile device, you can instantly make a $5 donation to Share Our Strength. Wireless users can choose to donate once, twice or even up to five times to contribute.
One in six children in America are at risk of not getting enough food every day. Funds raised will support Share Our Strength’s national work to end childhood hunger, which takes a local approach to feeding the hungry in our communities, funds the most effective anti-hunger organizations in each state, and makes the most of state, federal, and local resources.
Most major carriers are supporting this text-donation program, which will run through March 1, and AT&T is matching total text donations up to $100,000.
Would you like to contribute in other ways? You can hold a food drive between now and Jan. 31. You can also help spread the word through email, blogs, facebook, myspace, etc… Every little bit helps!
That’s really great. Thanks for sharing!
