The ConAgra Foods® Foundation announced today it would make a
$10 donation in the name of each person who signs Share Our
Strength's No Kid HungryTM Pledge between now and Nov. 24, up to
$100,000. As the launch partner for the No Kid Hungry Campaign,
ConAgra Foods Foundation’s goal is to help Share Our Strength
garner at least 10,000 new No Kid Hungry Pledges.
Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry Campaign focuses on feeding
hungry kids where they live, learn and play. By signing the pledge,
individuals are committing to do what they can to help end child
hunger in the United States by 2015. Those who sign the No Kid
Hungry Pledge will be provided with ideas and resources to make
their promise to fight child hunger a reality. For the first 10,000
people who sign the No Kid Hungry Pledge between now and Nov. 24,
the ConAgra Foods Foundation will donate $10 in their name (up to
$100,000) to the No Kid Hungry Campaign. Individuals can sign the
pledge online at www.nokidhungry.org/conagrafoods or
www.facebook.com/conagrafoodsfoundation.
“For families who are facing financial hardships, the holidays
can be filled with anxiety and disappointment. Through our work
with Share Our Strength and the No Kid Hungry Campaign, we hope to
provide families with the resources they need to provide their
children with satisfying and nutritious meals not just for the
holidays, but for the entire year,” said Kori Reed, executive
director, ConAgra Foods Foundation.
“The fight against child hunger is a major undertaking, but one
we feel passionate about and are confident can be solved,” said
Billy Shore, founder and executive director of Share Our Strength.
“Those who sign the pledge are joining a movement of people united
to put an end to childhood hunger. Unfortunately, there are stigmas
about hunger and barriers to accessing healthy food, but through
our efforts with partners like ConAgra Foods Foundation, we hope to
overcome these obstacles.”
