Dear Lucas,
With poverty at an all time high across the nation, the new faces of hunger are the ones you would least expect -- and they could very well be your neighbor's kids.
At Share Our Strength, we're fighting every day to combat childhood hunger. We asked some children what hunger feels like to them -- and we're sharing what they had to say with you. It's important that their voices are heard. No child should have to go hungry, especially in a country where food is abundant.
What's frustrating about childhood hunger is that we know the solutions -- comprehensive and accessible food and nutrition programs in places where children live, learn and play -- but these kids aren't getting connected to them. As we celebrate this holiday season with family and friends, I hope you'll take a moment to reflect on the millions of children in America who are at risk of hunger, many of whom may go to sleep tonight without enough to eat. Will you help spread the word?
Please watch the video now and be sure to share with your friends and family. Every new person who commits to ending childhood hunger brings us one step closer to stamping out hunger once and for all.
Best holiday wishes to you and yours,
Billy Shore
Founder and CEO
