Did you know that more than 1 out of every 6 children are going hungry right now in the United States? That’s more than 12 million American children who aren’t getting enough to eat today. And with our deepening recession and rising unemployment, that number is growing every day. More than 30 million Americans are on food stamps and food banks are experiencing unprecedented demand at the same time that donations are shrinking. Here’s one way that you can make a difference today.

The Pledge to End Hunger shines a bright light on hunger in America by asking concerned individuals to be a part of the solution. If you pledge to help by making a donation, volunteering in your community, or sharing information about the Pledge to End Hunger with your network, not only will your contribution make a difference, but Tyson Foods will donate 35 lbs. (140 servings) of food to match your contribution. That’s a tractor trailer load of food for every 1000 pledges. Not bad for one click.
