No Kid Hungry RD Challenge

Details:

At Jimmy Dean we believe a great day lies within everyone – especially our children. More than 16 million children, or 1 in 5, struggle with hunger in America. Together with Share Our Strength, Jimmy Dean has joined the No Kid Hungry Campaign to make a lasting impact by nourishing the potential of kids everywhere, fighting hunger and promoting the benefits of breakfast.

November is No Kid Hungry Month, so what better time for nutrition leaders like you to show your support for ending childhood hunger then by signing up for the No Kid Hungry RD Challenge? For each pledge* received from registered dietitians (RDs) through February 2012, Jimmy Dean will make a donation to No Kid Hungry, helping Share Our Strength connect one child in need with up to 10 meals.

But that's not all! To help dietitians fight hunger in their own community, Jimmy Dean will award the state dietetic association with the highest percentage of RD pledges a $5,000 grant**. This grant can be used to support any community-based initiative that will help eliminate childhood hunger at the local level – so be sure to spread the word among your fellow state dietetic association members!
