Hunger Hits Home

With more than 16 million kids in houses that are struggling to put food on the table, it is time for America to Stand Up for Americans!
Children that seems to have it all together in school and on the field go home with an empty stomach at the end of the night. It seems that we worry about starving children in other parts of the world, but never look in our own backyard and think of the hungry American children. Some people will turn around and say it is their parents fault and their parents obligation to feed them. But as we point the finger at everyone, who is stepping up to feed the hungry children.
It’s funny that this fell into my lap. I had just posted about miles of lines of people waiting to buy lottery tickets while they most likely walked passed a homeless person or someone in need on their way to the lottery machine.
The funny thing about hungry children, they are hard to identify. They look like other children and they will never say a word because of the respect to their parents and their own pride. I have seen and helped many struggling families in the past and now it is a great time for you to get involved by watching HUNGER HITS HOME on April 14th at 8pm/7c. on Food Network. If you are not familiar with this problem in America, you will be SHOCKED when you see it! It’s worth a look. I will be watching, too! I have seen this WAY too many times…sadly.
I will be tweeting along that night as @3decades3kids and @MacKidNewarkNJ

In an effort to support and fight against childhood hunger, Food Network in a partnership with Share Our Strength will air a special 1-hour documentary titled HUNGER HITS HOME on April 14th at 8pm/7c. The documentary offers a first-hand look at the crisis of childhood hunger in America through the eyes of the parents, children, activists, educators and politicians on the frontlines of the battle. The program takes us to the heart of the matter with a focus on families from New York to Texas who struggle with hunger and the community leaders who are taking direct action to fight it. Remember EVERY DOLLAR counts!
