Did you know 49 million Americans do not have a steady source of food?  That includes almost 17 million children. Families from all walks of life and income levels don’t know where their next meal will come from. Savvy Aunties can help.

We have enough food to feed them all. Unfortunately, there are barriers that prevent us from becoming a hunger-free nation. So what’s it going to take? First and foremost, we need more people to care enough to take action. Then, we need them to keep caring and taking action until we reach our goal. It’s really that simple.

Simple doesn’t mean easy. Nor does it mean just a click and it’s instantly fixed. But, it does mean it’s doable. That’s the reason why we are working with Share Our Strength, Feeding America, and a host of other partners to launch WeCanEndThis.com, a yearlong initiative to shift the conversation about hunger in American and create real, tangible solutions.  

As the aunties and godmothers to the world, the Savvy Auntie community can help in this important goal. It starts with a few small steps:

• Visit WeCanEndThis.com between now and March 18
• Let the world know you care by “donating” a digital can of food to your state
• Help spread the word on Twitter, Facebook, email, or however

On March 18, the ten states with the most digital cans will each receive a semi-truckload of real food. Over 15 days, we will feed 1.5 million people in need and you can help bring a truck to your state. More importantly, we can help grow this important movement.  

What are you waiting for?  Let’s show the children of America how much we care!
