Share Our Strength's "Operation No Kid Hungry"



Another bit of serendipity happened today - I had bookmarked a recent Operation NICE blog post about this innovative campaign to end childhood hunger with the intention of doing a reposting here on Sublime Goodness to help spread the word. And then today, I received an email from Kari at the organization behind the campaign, Share Our Strength, asking if I would...help spread the word. So consider it done!

Here is the info:
Share Our Strength 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 an easy way that you can support and participate in "Operation No Kid Hungry": Just Text "SHARE" to 20222 on your mobile device to donate $5. AT&T will match all text donations up to $100,000. Find out more at
http://strength.org/get_involved/text_donation/

For more information about "Operation No Kid Hungry" and how you can help
end childhood hunger, visit Share Our Strength's website:

There are also more ways you can help get the word out, including banners
for your blog and social networking pages here:

Cool eh? I think it's really awesome to see a nonprofit use new technologies such social media (Facebook, Twitter, etc) in addition to text messaging for the greater good.
