"Kids Feeding Kids"
To bring awareness and donations to Feeding Families, Inc., one of our campaigns is to involve students from around the entire country to     participate, in essence to "give back."  Of the majority of the hungry, needy families in this country most are composed of young children and teenagers. Below are two examples of students making a difference in a hungry child's life.

Five students at a high school wanted to raise awareness and donations for hungry children. In just sixteen months they've raised $300,000. They eventually conducted a fundraiser at Kanye West's concert in     Miami, and they convinced West to donate $1 from every ticket sold. This may be an example of extreme success, but elementary and high school students across the country, some not even old enough to vote -- are making a difference.

Another group of students raised $17,000 in its first fundraising event, just two months after they started. They were able to recruit 40 other   students and get their mothers' and fathers' companies to match what they raised. We've been taught to think we can do anything in this   country, and since you can do anything, you should. One of the students said "Giving back leads us to give more of ourselves, and therefore grow up to be better adults serving not just ourselves, but also all the         communities we live in."

Feeding Families, Inc. is committed to this strong campaign to enlist  students of all ages to "give back", and we will assist the students, their schools, and their parents with a list of fundraising ideas. We will also help them customize these campaigns to fit the students, the schools and their activities. This campaign will join families to help feed hungry, needy families in a way that fulfills everyone. It is a very good thing.

Following the delivery of the student raised donations, a certificate will be presented to their group which will account for all the monies they have raised by detailing how many families were fed, and even which fruits and/or vegetables were donated.

"Calling for Change to Make a Difference"
In this country we have many people who are transforming social change by committing only a few hours each month to make a difference. By calling on (email, telephone, and/or snail mail) colleagues, friends,   family members, churches, synagogues, and community groups to bring awareness and donations to Feeding Families, Inc., you all will make the difference between hungry families eating healthy food or in some cases, none at all.

We will assist the volunteers with a dialogue to empower them with the information needed to inform others of Feeding Families, Inc. and our mission to feed healthy food to hungry, needy families in America.

Charlie Engle ~ "RUNNING AMERICA"
This upcoming event for Feeding Families, Inc., "Running Across America," is being sponsored by Charlie Engle, the top endurance      athlete in the world. He will attempt to set a new world record, running across America in 45 days. His run will begin on 8/8/08 in San         Francisco, and will conclude in New York. This run will be documented as a feature film, which is expected to premiere at either Sundance,   Berlin or Cannes in 2009. In addition, you may register to run with  Charlie, or pledge any amount per each mile, for any segment, or miles you choose. This run will be an online daily feed as a live experience with millions following him online with daily video updates and live video streams.

Charlie has committed to using this event to bring awareness and raise donations for Feeding Families, Inc, in association with the United Way.

Please commit to this awareness run across America by simply asking your friends, families, colleagues, churches, synagogues, community groups, etc. support the run.

Following Charlie's run an accounting of all the contributions that have been raised will be published online.

Feeding Families, Inc. is anticipating that the pledges and donations raised during Charlie's run will support a donation of a truckload of fresh, frozen vegetables in Chicago during his appearance with Matt Damon on Oprah and at the end of his run in New York City in Central Park. These donations will be donated to food banks and then distributed to thousands of people in America.

A truckload translates to 160,000 servings of fresh frozen vegetables.
