Last year I had the amazing opportunity to work with @FeedingAmerica @Conagrafoods and @Childhungerends to raise awareness about the Hunger free summer program. It was amazing to see how Con Agra is giving to communities all over the US to keep kids fed during the summer. This year, I’ve been asked to participate in a twitter party as a compensated co-host. Here are the party details.
Hunger Free Summer May 23 4p ET Twitter Party
What: A Twitter party on National Hunger-Free Summer Day, May 23.
When: Thursday, May 23, at 4p ET – the party will last for 30 minutes.
Why: During the school year, 21.5 million children rely on free or reduced-price meals to help them from going hungry. When school is out, only 2.3 million children participate in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). This means there are millions of children at an increased risk of hunger during the summer. Children may not have access to summer meal assistance programs for a variety of reasons, but you CAN help ensure they are fed by supporting the ConAgra Foods Foundation’s Hunger-Free Summer program.
Who: Hunger-Free Summer spokesperson, actor, and proud father of five Chris O’Donnell (@chrisodonnell) will take us through the ConAgra Foods Foundation’s Hunger-Free Summer campaign during a 30-minute Twitter party with @ConAgraFoods, @ChildHungerEnds and @FeedingAmerica.
Where: Follow the party with this TweetGrid – http://bit.ly/10iMipT

I hope I can make this- it is very important. Kids go hungry during the school year of course but when summer comes along and parents cant afford an additional meal and a snack the days get long for a child that doesnt have enough.
I follow all of the folks you mentioned and really respect them.
Thank you for always doing these type of things!
In case I cant make it am giving the post a retweet.
Well darn it just reread and it was on the 23rd. Hope it reached alot of people!
