January 15, 2009 · Comments

food drive 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. Help us meet this challenge grant! 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.

  • I'll text for food to feed hungry children, blog for food for feed hungry children, and retweet for food

    Heck, I'll even organize a canned food drive and toss some extra food in those boxes at the supermarket on my way out.

    These are expensive, time consuming activities - a little bit goes a long way

    Thanks for posting this Chris. I just did a text donation and will go back to Twitter to retweet. Truthfully, as a very infrequent "texter" it felt good to use my phone for this cause. @LynnMcFarlane
  • Always glad to help for causes such as this. Thanks, Chris!
  • thank you so much for opening my eyes to this - what a great way to spread good karma, i'm all over it!!!

    Our daughter interned in DC last summer with Share Our Strength. They seem like a great organization.
  • Chris, thanks so much for helping to spread the word about "Operation No Kid Hungry"! It's folks like you who really help make a difference!

    I encourage everyone to make a difference in the life of a child who would otherwise go hungry - just with a text! You can also follow Share Our Strength on Twitter (@ShareOurStrength) and on Facebook.

    Thanks again to Chris and to everyone who is spreading the word!

    Best,

  • If I had understood that you were going to do your own picks, I wouldn't have thrown myself wholeheartedly into the 12for12k Challenge. I'll still do all I can, though. The local Albertson's grocery store is making bags of food for the food bank available for purchase. I think I'll do that and encourage others to join me.
  • It's rather shocking to see how easy it actually is to affect change on a very large level. Thanks for spreading the word, because this community of ours is very powerful, and always willing to take a few minutes or a few dollars and put them in the hands of those in need.

    Found this thru Richard's site. Texting now. Thank you showing us this!!
  • Good post. Glad I found it. Will link to it after. Thanks.
  • Hmmm...well I guess I'm going to find out if this text-number will work from Canada or not on my next phone bill :D
  • Hi Chris,
    On a similar note, I'm part of a non-profit called 'Hope and Health for Rwanda' (http://hahfr.org). The goal of the organization is to raise money and then ship medical supplies to needy medical clinics in Rwanda. I'm hoping that some members of your community would visit http://hahfr.org. I hope that I have not over stepped my bounds with this request. Keep up the good work.
    Thanks and All the best,
    Patrick Kusior
