I recently learned that 9.6 million eligible kids don't get a free or reduced price school breakfast.  Not only will that impair a child's concentration, but just imagine the shame of having to go to school hungry.  
 
 Share Our Strength, an organization that has attempted to combat child hunger in the U.S ( http://strength.org )has launched a brand new campaign to raise funds to help end childhood hunger. 
"Operation No Kid Hungry" responds to President 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":
  $5. AT&T will match all text donations up to $100,000. Help us meet this
 challenge grant! Find out more at
 http://strength.org/get_involved/text_donation/
 
2. Collect Food Donations: Help feed those in
 need by donating food to your local food bank.  Visit http://Strength.org
 to find a food bank and a list of the most needed nutritious foods.
 
Also, from now until 2/28, Quaker Oatmeal will donate a nutritious bowl of oatmeal to the hungry for every UPC you enter from your favorite Quaker hot cereal.  Learn more at:  www.startwithsubstance.com
