#BreadArt with Teri Hatcher To End Hunger in America

Make sure to scroll down and participate in this project to stop HUNGER!

I had the pleasure earlier this week to attend an event with the Bread Art Project and Teri Hatcher. The event was to publicize to people how easy it is to raise awareness and money for Share Our Strength, an organization aimed at fighting hunger.

The Bread Art Project is an initiative created by the Grain Foods Foundation to help increase awareness of the growing hunger problem in our country. Yes, in the USA. Nearly 17 million children in America are uncertain where their next meal will come from – that’s almost 1 in 4. It’s time to we did something about it.

Almost 1 in 4 children in America do not know where their next meal is coming from. Did you think at first that was a number referencing a third world country? It is not, it is a statistical fact reflecting America’s hunger problem.

And what can we do?

We can do what Teri Hatcher showed me to do. For every piece of bread art you create at http://breadartproject.com/#/home, the Grain Food Foundation will donate $1 to Share Our Strength. There is no limit to how many art projects you can do on the bread to get those contributions to build up!

This is also a great activity to do with your kids, as I have done. And let me tell you, my son cannot believe that there are kids like him that go hungry in this country. Hearing that made it even more imperative for him to help. And it gave me an opportunity as a parent to try to help him understand how lucky we are to have as much as we have.

About Grain Foods Foundation:

Grain Foods Foundation is a joint venture of members from the baking and milling industries, and allied suppliers formed in 2004. Its mission is to advance public understanding of the beneficial role grain-based foods play in a healthful diet. At a time when the nutrition debate has taken center stage on the public agenda and Americans have been inundated with often conflicting and sometimes suspect nutritional advice, healthy doses of fact-based information and common sense are sorely needed. The Foundation is committed to nutrition education programming that is firmly rooted in sound science, working together with its Scientific Advisory Board, a multidisciplinary cross-section of nationally recognized nutrition and healthcare experts. The Foundation is directed by a board of trustees, and its funding is provided through voluntary donations from private grain-based companies, supplemented by industry associations. You can follow them on Facebook.
