Champions Against Child Hunger

ConAgra Foods Foundation and Sandra Lee, of Sandra Lee Semi-Homemade, in partnership with Share Our Strength® are doing a pretty incredible thing this holiday season. They just launched Champions Against Child Hunger, a campaign to recognize the hard work, commitment and compassion of the amazing individuals who are helping to end child hunger – the “Champions.” If you’re not familiar with Share Our Strength… it’s an amazing organization that makes sure no kid in America grows up hungry. That’s a pretty big thing to make sure of… and so unbelievably important and necessary.

How do they do this?

“Share Our Strength weaves together a net of community groups, activists and food programs to catch children at risk of hunger and surround them with nutritious food where they live, learn and play.”

So… how can YOU help this Holiday season? As a mother… this campaign really struck a cord with me. It breaks my heart to think that there are children growing up hungry. It just breaks me. I knew I wanted to pass this information on… and I knew I wanted to HELP!

Congra Foods Foundation is asking YOU to nominate people in your area, or that you know, who are “Champions.” Those individuals who work hard and passionately and endlessly to end child hunger. Those individuals who seek out help, volunteer their time and make it their mission to end child hunger. These are exceptional individuals… and they truly deserve to be recognized.

This is the best part…

What I love is that $10 will be donated by Conagra Foods Foundation to Share Our Strength for every entry submission. That’s right… $10 for every submission!

It’s sad to say… but we become so wrapped up in our lives, that we don’t take the time to thank or recognize the people who are making differences in this world… for the better of the whole world. Now is a great chance to give that THANK YOU to someone making a huge difference and giving up themselves for a greater cause, our children.

It’s extremely easy to nominate someone… (or yourself!). Head over to Champions Against Child Hunger Web site, www.ChampionsAgainstChildHunger.org between NOW and January 22nd, 2010 and NOMINATE AWAY!

Each of the top five finalists will receive a cash prize of $500 as a reward for their advocacy and passion for ending child hunger, and a matching donation of $500 to Share Our Strength or their hunger relief organization of choice.

The GRAND prize winner will receive a trip to New York City, a tour of The Food Network studios, and a cash prize of $1,500, as well as a donation of $5,000 to Share Our Strength or their hunger relief organization of choice.

**ConAgra Foods Foundation has committed an incremental donation of up to $100,000 to Share Our Strength.

This is just an incredible campaign to get involved with… it’s easy and it’s making a DIFFERENCE.

Please pass this information on… !
