According to Share Our Strength, food banks across the country are facing big spikes due to tough economic conditions. Some food banks they fund are reporting a 40- to 50-percent increase in demand.

Donating just $5 will make a big difference.

“With the help of AT&T and the Mobile Giving Foundation, you can now simply text the word “SHARE” to 20222 on your mobile device to make a $5 donation to Share Our Strength. Wireless users can choose to donate once, twice or even up to five times to contribute. By working together, our $5 donations can help feed millions of children.
