We Can End This
Posted by Margie Fleming Glennon on Friday, March 5, 2010
This week marks the beginning of the WeCanEndThis campaign, an initiative to shift the conversation about hunger in America and create real, tangible solutions. At the center of the effort is a 15-day digital can drive - every person who makes a commitment to volunteer, donate or take action to help end hunger will be able to donate a digital can of food to the state of his or her choice. On March 18, the 10 states with the most digital cans will win a truckload of food.
You can also join in on March 15 for the launch of CauseLab at the SXSW Festival] in Austin. The WeCanEndThis.com team will kick off an unprecedented 30-day virtual brainstorm to develop the most powerful, effective, and innovative ideas to end hunger in America. Some of the most creative thinkers from across the country will tackle touch questions like, “What will a hunger-free community look like?” Follow along and participate online from March 15 through April 15.
Funds raised through WeCanEndThis will be donated to Share Our Strength and our fellow charity partners, the Capital Area Food Bank of Texas and Feeding America, to fuel the innovative ideas inspired by the CauseLab. Special thanks to Scott Henderson and the team at WeCanEndThis, as well to ConAgra Foods and Tyson Foods, for making this campaign possible.
