My husband and I have a 9 year old daughter. When she was born, I worried a lot. I worried about everything from deciphering her cries and keeping her healthy to tracking her development and keeping her safe.

I worried about a lot of things then and I still worry now.

One thing I never worry about is keeping her fed.

When she was hungry, my daughter has food to eat.

Not all children are as fortunate.

Amanda Hite, force extraordinare, has put out a call to action to end childhood hunger in America as part of Share Our Strength’s “Great American Dine Out”, September 19-25.

Nearly 17 million children in this country struggle with hunger. Share Our Strength’s “No Kid Hungry” campaign is ending childhood hunger in America by connecting at-risk children with the nutritious foods they need to live healthy, active lives.

The “Great American Dine Out,” September 19-25, will bring together thousands of restaurants and millions of consumers to help raise money for this important cause.

There are so many ways to help.

Blog. Tweet. Donate. Eat.

You decide.

It's easy and every action will take us one step closer to ending childhood hunger.
