Mayor Sharon Weston Broome of Baton Rouge, Louisiana and Mayor Mattie Parker of Fort Worth, Texas are Chair and Vice-Chair of the Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger, a bipartisan alliance of almost 400 mayors from across the country. “I think the first thing that the Alliance capitalizes on is a firm understanding that the most powerful thing Americans can use is their bully pulpit to any cause,” says Mayor Parker. Mayor Broome agrees. “There are a lot of best practices that we can hone in on and we can work together to advocate for legislative measures at the federal, state, and local levels.” Listen in to learn about some innovative ideas that have already been shared among the mayors in the Alliance and how these initiatives are reducing childhood hunger in their communities.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Topic discuss: ‘Childhood Hunger' and ‘Jalsa Salana' Presenter: Raheel Ahmad Faheem Nasir Childhood Hunger: Hunger is a perilous cycle that passes from one generation to the next.

Join us as we discuss what approach İslam offers towards ensuring that humanity secures food, particularly, for the most vulnerable – the needy and poor. Jalsa Salana: Join us as we reflect on the deeper meaning of religious gatherings and their impact on individuals and communities.

The Midwest Chapter of the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation made a big statement Monday, joining The Salvation Army in the fight against childhood hunger. A $10,000 grant was awarded to The Salvation Army to help fund the many Salvation Army food programs across the Chicagoland area. As many people across the state continue to struggle with the ongoing impacts of inflation, the pandemic, and interest rate hikes, the number of food-insecure households has doubled since the start of the pandemic. And worse, food insecurity has tripled for families with children. The mission of the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation is to provide joy to kids battling hunger or illness, who believes impact is felt most at the local level. That's where The Salvation Army aims to make a difference by delivering nutritious food and fresh produce and ensuring no child ever goes hungry on the streets of Chicago.

I'm part of solving this issue.'” Get a glimpse into the future of Share Our Strength and the No Kid Hungry Campaign.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

School-age children, including adolescents, fall short on consuming essential nutrients to support learning, activity and development. In fact, the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans highlights how many children and adolescents aren't getting enough high-quality protein, iron, zinc, choline and vitamins B6 and B12. These nutrient deficiencies are especially alarming given the significant growth and development that happens during this life stage. When you consider this and the additional risks of hunger and the long term consequences of food insecurity and nutrient deficiencies, it becomes apparent that we need to change the assumptions, mindset and conversation around childhood hunger. Tune into this episode to learn about: Nutrition, hunger and social responsibility The prevalence of food insecurity and risk factors for childhood hunger How the pandemic and rising food costs are impacting families with school age children Why childhood/adolescence is a pivotal time for proper nutrition yet nutrient deficiencies are common during these years How some children and adolescents aren't getting enough high-quality protein, iron, zinc, choline and vitamins B6 and B12 How families are coping with hunger How schools and communities are coping with hunger Short term and long term consequences of hunger Social responsibility – what it means and what we need to know Strategies to include nutrient rich foods that are accessible and affordable Full shownotes and resources at: https://soundbitesrd.com/225 This podcast episode is a paid collaboration between Sound Bites® and Beef.

Cities are on the frontlines of responding to the short and long-term impacts of hunger in their communities and mayors have witnessed firsthand the hardship their constituents face. On this episode of Add Passion and Stir, we speak with two mayors leading the fight against child hunger. Mayor Levar Stoney of Richmond, Virginia and Mayor John Giles of Mesa, Arizona are the inaugural Chair and Vice Chair of the new Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger. The Alliance is a nonpartisan coalition of more than 50 mayors working in partnership with Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign to end childhood hunger.Members of the Alliance will engage in collective advocacy to address child hunger at state and federal levels. Mayors Stoney and Giles have a lot of hope about what this group can do to transcend partisan politics. “I think sometimes people try to define an issue like childhood hunger as a political issue between Democrats and Republicans. When you're in this role as mayor, you find out that this is about humanity and how we treat our children and our families with dignity,” says Mayor Stoney. “The biggest tool that I have in my toolbox is the ability to convene… mayors are in a uniquely powerful position to connect the needs of the community with the resources of the community,” Mayor Giles remarks.

Passed in 1997, The Child Tax Credit, known as the CTC, provides an end of year tax credit to families with children under 16. In March 2021, as part of the $1.9 trillion coronavirus aid package, the American Rescue Plan, the CTC saw its largest ever increase — making the credit available for children 17 and under, increasing the amount per child ages 6-17 from $2,000 to $3,000 and from $2,000 to $3,600 for children under six, and changing it to a monthly payment instead of annual lump sum. Experts estimate these changes could lift as many as 5 million kids out of poverty.In this first episode of a series on the CTC, Add Passion and Stir welcomes Reps. Jim McGovern (D-MA) and Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) and Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO), and other thought leaders in a conversation about the origin and evolution of this legislation. What was the original concept? How has it worked and not worked? How did the CTC's expansion come to pass? And how are broader policy changes, such as an historic 25% increase to monthly SNAP benefits, working together to fight hunger and poverty in America. Episode Guests:- Representative Jim McGovern (D-MA) who has worked to end food insecurity since joining Congress in 1997- Representative Rosa DeLauro (D-CT) who, since 2003, has pushed for an increase in the amount provided by the CTC- Senator Michael Bennet (D-CO) an anti-poverty champion and author of the American Family Act of 2019 which advocated for monthly, refundable tax credit for families- Monica Gonzales, Director of Federal Advocacy at Share Our StrengthSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On the podcast we are continuing the critical conversation around child poverty and hunger that, quite frankly I’m embarrassed to have to be talking about in 2021. Rather than complaining or pointing out a desperate situation I want to shine a light on some incredible initiatives. On that note, I want you to ponder on this:Can we use hunger to end hunger?This is the simple revolutionary formula that my next guest and his colleagues founded over 10 years ago. Owen Burton co-founded One feeds Two. A charitable organisation that partners with food brands and work to provide school meals to children living in poverty across the globe.Thus far, One Feeds Two's partners have donated over 10 millions school meals - and in 2021 alone, they hope to donate over 6 million school meals. The school meals are locally sourced, largely plant-based and typical of the local cuisine - "what the kids would be eating if they were eating at home".On the show today we talk about:Owen’s travel and corporate backgroundThe early foundations of one feeds twoWhy school meals are magical and the impact on povertyWhat we can learn from One feeds Two as it relates to child poverty in the UKOwen’s current projects and his new drinks brand “Fount”Do check out The Doctor's Kitchen website for full show notes for this and all other episodes See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Columbia Chronicles: Food for Thought – Emma Dooling What if education isn’t the only crucial service in-person learning provides? Some students in the Richland One School District regularly rely on the meals they receive at school. According to Feeding America’s 2020 National Report on Childhood Hunger, the national child food insecurity rate is projected to increase by anywhere from 1.6 to 9.3% due to the effects of COVID-19 on employment. Reporter Emma Dooling talks with a local teacher about fighting childhood hunger during a global pandemic and how her school has adapted to help young learners.  Produced and edited by Flynn Snyder Columbia Chronicles is produced through a partnership between WUSC-FM, Garnet Media Group, and the University of South Carolina's School of Journalism and Mass Communications.

This is one of the most pressing conversations of the moment. The extent of childhood hunger and food insecurity that exists not in third world countries, but here in the UK. It is absolutely astounding that 1 in 8 people are food insecure coupled with the fact that a third of food is wasted along various parts of the supply chain.To open up this discussion I’m inviting representatives from 2 incredible organisations working to tackle these issues in their unique ways, for a fairer and more compassionate society. One where nobody is left unseen nor hungry.Rather than complaining or pointing out a desperate situation I want to shine a light on these incredible charitiesFirst I speak with Alyson Walsh, Commercial Director with responsibility for Fundraising, Marketing Communications and Volunteering at Fareshare. With 25 years’ experience in the food and retail sector, Alyson possesses a wealth of industry and consumer knowledge,Later in this pod, I also speak with Emily Frezza (a former primary school teacher) and Alysa Remtulla from Magic Breakfast, a registered charity providing healthy breakfasts to children in the UK who arrive at school too hungry to learn. We talk about the foundations of the charity and the scale of the issue of food insecurity amongst children in the UK. 2 million children in the UK suffer hunger and Magic Breakfast extend their expert support to their partners across 960 Primary, Secondary, ASL/Special Educational Needs Schools and Pupil Referral Units in disadvantaged areas of England and Scotland. They reach around 167,000 children to ensure they start their school day with the energy and nutrition they need to be able to make the most of their morning lessons. On the pod today we cover the following:Overview of the problemWhat is Food insecurity – what it is, how much of an issue it is, how it’s increased since the pandemic.Food insecurity is a pre-pandemic problemHow to tackle the stigma surrounding food insecurityThe logistical issues surrounding food redistributionHow to get involved with both Fareshare and Magic BreakfastPlease do check out The Doctor's Kitchen Website for full show notes and details on this and all other podcast episodes See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Since 2015, the HPFFA has hosted a Charity Hockey Tournament benefiting Food4Kids Hamilton. The tournament had first responders from all over Southern Ontario on teams playing each other. They've raised almost $100,000 for Food4Kids since then. Unfortunately, due to Covid they had to cancel 2020 and now the 2021 tournament. In an effort to fill the void, they came up with a social media challenge based on a Food4Kids t-shirt with the slogan "Together we can beat childhood hunger" - with the word "beat" actually being the vegetable. From that we developed #eatAbeet for Food4Kids Hamilton. The challenge is to eat a beet (raw, cooked, canned, pickled, etc...it's up to you), take a video or photo, post on-line hitting all the hashtags and links and challenge someone else.  The hope is all participants donate $25, which covers the cost of one $25 grocery card. (The grocery cards are how Food4Kids is helping the 1300 registered students when doing virtual learning due to Covid). Our goal is $32,500 (one card per each registered student). The HPFFA Charity will start the fundraiser with a $5,000 donation and it has been matched by tandia financial credit.

Today on Mushroom Hour we are excited to have a conversation with Te’Lario Watkins II, founder of Tiger Mushroom Farms. Te’Lario started his mushroom farm at the age of 7 on the heels of a Cub Scout Project. Now at age 12, Te’Lario is a speaker, author, Hunger Hero and nonprofit Founder. He grows shiitake mushrooms in his basement and oyster mushrooms in a spare bedroom. Te’Lario sells them at a farmers market and local restaurants. Te’Lario’s mission is to help end hunger and encourage kids to eat healthier. He has worked with No Kid Hungry to raise awareness and funds to end hunger. He volunteers with Food Rescue US and delivers unsold food from restaurants to food pantries. Te’Lario recently started his own nonprofit “The Garden Club Project” to help his mission to end hunger. This summer, Te’Lario’s nonprofit delivered over 2,000 pounds to a local food pantry in his community.

In this podcast, we speak to Billy Shore, founder of Share Our Strength, parent organization for the No Kid Hungry campaign to learn more about how NGOs, CPG companies, retailers, and chefs are working together to end childhood hunger in America.

This week on the Best of Our Knowledge, we'll speak to the director of No Kid Hungry, about their new study on childhood hunger. No Kid Hungry is a national campaign working to end childhood hunger. They’ve released a new report on the state of food insecurity in the U.S. four months into the COVID-19 […]

Distance learning brings the challenge of feeding kids that rely on school lunches for the nutrition they need. Mike Max spoke with Rob Williams of The Sheridan Story about their mission of closing that food gap and battling food insecurity. See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

Did you know that the stress and trauma from food insecurity puts children’s mental and physical health at risk? Join Food Sleuth Radio host and registered dietitian, Melinda Hemmelgarn, for her interview with Cindy Leung, ScD, MPH, Assistant Professor in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Michigan School of Public Health. Leung is a nutritional epidemiologist whose research focuses on diet and health disparities in vulnerable populations. She discusses the psychological distress associated with childhood food insecurity, which has risen exponentially due to COVID-19. (See: https://www.brookings.edu/blog/up-front/2020/05/06/the-covid-19-crisis-has-already-left-too-many-children-hungry-in-america/ ).

The brother and sister team who have been doing this work for 35 years talk about how the pandemic has shined a light on childhood hunger and what we can do about it.

Billy Shore, founder and chairman of Share Our Strength and the architect of the No Kid Hungry campaign, talks with Rev. Jim Wallis about how to feed the kids who are missing nearly 34 million meals each day now that schools are shuttered because of the coronavirus."Hopefully one of our responsibilities or charges from a leadership point of view is to help people see how we can make some permanent changes, so the next time there's such a crisis, the vulnerable are not as vulnerable; we're more on an equal footing," Shore says.

How will the restaurant industry survive the coronavirus? Chef Jason Vincent (Giant, Chef Special) joins Billy Shore from his home quarantine in Chicago to talk about the difficult decisions he’s had to make as a restaurant owner in these challenging times. Vincent believes the current crisis is putting a magnifying glass on long-standing problems like healthcare. “It's a tough lesson to have to learn in a terrible time, but lots of stuff needs to get fixed,” he says. He decided early on to keep providing health insurance to his employees during the shutdown. Vincent is concerned the pandemic may exacerbate mental health issues in the restaurant workforce. “This is when the raw nerve gets exposed… people who don't like being alone, being made to be alone. It gets touchy real fast,” explains Vincent. A father of two young girls, he also worries about what the crisis may do to the mental state of kids. “You see the crinkles on their faces when they hear the word coronavirus on the news. You see their pause after hearing about a ventilator,” he explains. Join us for this deeply personal and important conversation with an employer, activist and father fighting to help others survive this crisis.

Activists, philanthropists, teachers, chefs and other thought leaders gathered to collaborate and share best practices in the fight to end childhood hunger. This special episode of Add Passion and Stir features some of the highlights from that day. “It is just a symptom that children are hungry in this country… and the truth of the matter is that the real issue is poverty.” -George Jones, CEO of Bread for the City “If you want to lead, you have to follow. You have to follow great principles.” - John Miller, President and CEO of Denny’s Corporation“We have to find a way to connect this abundance of agriculture that we have with the children that need it the most. And that fuels the economy.” - Dorothy McAuliffe, Former first lady of Virginia “As the mother of a school teacher, it is really important that we are there for our education system because that's the best way we can look to the future.” - Renee Grisham, philanthropist “If I'm trying to teach a student who has food insecurity or who hasn't eaten, it's like trying to put a roof on a house with no foundation.” – Julie Pittman, Teacher in Rutherford County Schools, North Carolina Listen in as some of the most dedicated champions in the fight against child hunger share what Billy Shore describes as their “constancy of purpose.”

Welcome to the Conscious Creators Show; where through intimate and insightful interviews with authors, actors, musicians, entrepreneurs and other podcasters, you'll learn tools and tactics to 10x your creativity and strategies to grow and monetize your audience. On today’s episode, we have Ron Klabunde, the Founder & CEO of Generosity Feeds. It's hard to think of a worse experience than losing a job. Even if you're young, and the stakes aren't as high, it's still terrifying to feel like you've lost control of your life. You can drive yourself crazy thinking about all the "what ifs". What if you can't find another job? And on top of all that, what if you came to the realization that it was your own arrogance that put you in that position in the first place? What would you do? But his story doesn't start there. At one particularly low point, Ron found himself at rock bottom with nowhere to go. But instead of giving up, he used his experiences to become a force for change in the world. But deciding to change doesn't mean all the problems disappear. Despite his drive and desire to do good, founding a non-profit wasn't easy. And Ron describes growing Generosity Feeds as an emotional roller coaster, and something that took everything he had to give. In today's episode, Ron talks about that emotional journey, how he got through the darkest moments, and the one thing that lead him to start Generosity Feeds in the first place.    Actions:  Subscribe to the show on Apple Podcasts or on your favorite podcast app and let us know what you think by leaving a rating and a review.

What can Chefs Cycle teach us about finding our strength? Recorded after the rain-soaked second day of Chefs Cycle 2019, Billy Shore discusses riding 300 miles in three days with Cathartes principal Jeff Johnston, ZAZU Kitchen & Farm chef/owner Duskie Estes, chef Elizabeth Falkner and Add Passion & Stir producer Paul “Woody” Woodhull. Woodhull, who is new to cycling, was inspired. “One thing I was told when I went out on a training ride was… you can shift and make it feel like you’re on a level road. For hungry kids, there’s no button they can push to level the road,” he notes. Johnston, an experienced rider, also found the experience meaningful. “It was challenging, but at the same time, you’re feeding kids, you’re doing the right the thing while you’re out riding through the vineyards,” he says.Estes and Falkner point out that Chefs Cycle does as much for the chef community as it does for No Kid Hungry. “It’s not just that you got the chefs who are cyclists - you are making cyclists out of the chefs,” says Estes. “I hope this can be really inspirational for younger folks getting into the business knowing that if you’re taking care of yourself, then you can better take care of other people,” explains Falkner.Listen in and experience the commitment and camaraderie that makes Chefs Cycle a powerful event for the riders and the kids they are helping to feed.

Billy Shore, the co-founder and chairman of Share Our Strength, the nation's leading anti-hunger organization, sat down with Gil Gross, the host of We The States, the official podcast of the National Governors Association, to explain how governors are spearheading the campaign to end childhood hunger in the United States.“Solving poverty is complex. But feeding a child is not. We know how to do that,” observed Mr. Shore. “So it seems to me that the least we can do in a triage sense of the word is make sure these kids get fed, and then let’s try to get to some of the root causes of why they’re hungry in the first place.”He noted that governors work to implement federal programs and use their influence to ensure that school districts participate in school breakfast and lunch campaigns. Governors also bring together superintendents and mayors and other stakeholders to implement programs intended to aid children."Governors are really the whole ballgame for ending childhood hunger,” Mr. Shore commented.Making sure every eligible child participates in the fully funded federal anti-hunger programs is "a win-win for the state. And every governor, Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative, they've jumped at the opportunity to increase enrollment in these programs that just make their kids stronger," says Mr. Shore. He noted that local food producers also benefit."Not only is it so good for the kids, which of course is a first concern of a lot of people, but also it can do [so much] for the local economy."Since beginning the No Kid Hungry campaign just a few years ago, Mr. Shore has seen governors add 4 million children to the School Breakfast program. The kids who participate in these school programs, experience increased test scores, have fewer absences, and create fewer disruptions. Listen to this powerful and provocative conversation that demonstrates how governors are helping to end the national scourge of childhood hunger in America.

What do business and politics have in common in today’s climate? Panera Bread Founder and Chairman of the Board Ron Shaich and FoodCorps Co-Founder and CEO Curt Ellis discuss how responsible leadership can inform both business and politics and the central role that food could play. “One of the most powerful things we can do as leaders is first, tell ourselves the truth,” says Shaich. “The hardest part of making decisions is the uncertainty that occurs… You need to project the confidence to everybody to get them over the hurdle while you yourself are unsure.” Ellis describes a key leadership moment when FoodCorps began developing a whole new realm of business skills to address the supply side of school food. “The decision to say: ‘We believe we have the ability to get good at something we’re not yet good at’ was a real decision to put ourselves out there,” he believes. Ellis sees the power of food in addressing political problems. “Food is this place where so many of the challenges that we must learn how to solve in our country intersect. Food is the place where social justice and racial justice meet environmental sustainability and public health,” he says. Shaich laments the problems created by short-term thinking in business and politics. “We need to examine why our politics has gotten so short term, so coarse and so ‘it’s my way or the highway,’” he says. “Unless we can solve that, we’re not going to be the country in the future that we’ve been in the past.” Get inspired as two leaders who have found ways to change the world through food share their advice on leadership and making a lasting impact.

What does fake news have to do with the Farm Bill? Former U.S. Department of Agriculture Under Secretary for Food, Nutrition and Consumer Sciences Kevin Concannon and award-winning chef and cookbook author Hugh Acheson talk with host Billy Shore about the importance of public service, nutrition and basic cooking skills, and the recently passed Farm Bill. “I’m as pleased with the Farm Bill for what is not in it - some of these ‘poison pills’ so to speak - that really intended to just harm people,” says Concannon. Acheson connects the fights around important Farm Bill components like SNAP (food stamps) – on which 40M Americans depend, half of them children - to a larger trend in our society. “We no longer believe that the best natural resource we have is the next generation. These kids all deserve an equal chance within the most prosperous nation on earth,” he insists. In his hometown of Athens, Georgia, Acheson developed a home economics program called Seed Life Skills to teach middle schoolers the basics of preparing healthy meals. “I think my duty in this life is to strip away the pretension about food and make people realize that we can all feed ourselves, we can feed those around us,” he says. As Under Secretary, Concannon visited one of the middle schools where the kids were growing, preparing and feeding meals to senior citizens in the community. “They had inculcated the knowledge and the values in these middle school kids and they were really committed. It was just wonderful to see it,” he observes. Listen to these two guests set the record straight about the lasting, positive impact of social programs that focus on our greatest natural resource - our children.

This week’s episode picks up where last week’s conversation left off. The World Food Programme’s Carmen Burbano, chef Floyd Cardoz and Billy Shore delve more deeply into international school feeding programs, cooking with indigenous foods, and the role chefs can play in bringing attention to these issues. “Every country in the world is trying to feed its school children. Keeping kids, specifically girls, in school can really be the key to… stopping the cycle of poverty and hunger,” says Burbano. Cardoz discusses how chefs can shine a spotlight on an issue. “Chefs do have a voice now. These [TV] shows are making us superstars, but no matter which show we are on, we care about what we do, we care about feeding and keeping people happy,” says Cardoz.

Can the U.S. farm-to-table movement inform anti-hunger programs in developing countries? This episode takes an international turn with renowned chef and restaurateur Floyd Cardoz (Bombay Bread Bar, Bombay Canteen, O Pedro) and World Food Programme (WFP) School Feeding Division Director Carmen Burbano for part one of a two-part conversation with host Billy Shore. Indian-born Cardoz says that while the focus on using local ingredients in the U.S. has created economic opportunities for small farmers and suppliers here, people in India still prefer imported food. His restaurants in India are teaching people that traditional, local ingredients can be cool. “If we sustain the community, we sustain the food source, food gets cheaper, more people eat,” he explains. Burbano discusses how WFP connects the demand created by its school feeding programs to smallholder farmer markets in many countries. “This has generated income and livelihood opportunities for millions of farmers, many of them women… and kids are automatically getting more nutritious food,” she notes. In addition to farmers, Burbano discusses developing networks to disseminate nutrition information to pregnant women and young mothers. In Peru, which was battling a childhood anemia epidemic, WFP teamed up with the country’s chef community to create a cooking show (Cocinar con Causa) around better eating and cooking habits to fight anemia. “Chefs have a very important influence on how people choose to eat what they eat,” she says. In India, Cardoz is trying to overcome cultural barriers to teach his community to give back. “Indians believe in giving to the gods, but not so much giving to the community,” he says. He founded a culinary event that brings the community together to raise money for designated causes. “People do want to give, but they don’t know how,” he explains. Join us for this important conversation about innovative solutions to international hunger issues.

Today I am excited to bring you some important information about a great local organization: the Community Food Bank of Eastern Oklahoma.  Eileen Bradshaw, the executive director of the Community Food Bank, joined me to explain a little bit about what they do.  With approximately 450 partner programs, this organization helps to distribute food throughout the state. According to Eileen, about one in every four children goes to bed hungry at night. And, as we can all agree, this is unacceptable.  “It’s part of our job just to make sure [these children] get what they need,” says Eileen. It was truly amazing to get a behind-the-scenes look at operations here at the Community Food Bank. Especially because at the time of my visit, they were preparing for “Summer Feeding.” The Summer Feeding program is one way that they are able to continue providing for kids who rely on school meals at other times of the year. On day one of this program, they fed an estimated 1,100 children. “Approximately one in every four children goes to bed hungry at night, so the work the Community Food Bank is doing is critical.” The workers at the Food Bank are also delegating more resources to their partner programs, as they know that their lines grow longer in the summer months, as well.  So, with as much as this organization does for our community, how can we give back and help them make a difference? Well, for every dollar donated, the Food Bank is able to produce four meals. Obviously, financial gifts are always welcomed.  Of course, volunteering your time and donating food are also great ways to help. So, if you want to get in touch with Eileen, you can give her a call at (918) 585-2800, or visit www.okfoodbank.org.

To help fund a life-saving vaccine or send aid in a natural disaster, all you have to do is buy wine. That's the idea behind ONEHOPE, the California-based wine brand providing people the opportunity to do more good through everyday actions. Their wine, gourmet coffee, and gift sets each support a charitable cause — every case of pinot funds a pet adoption, while every bottle of sparkling helps fund two meals to help end childhood hunger. No one needed another excuse to pour themselves a glass of Merlot, but ONEHOPE makes it all the more appealing. Brandon Hall, the Co-Founder and Chief Brand Officer of ONEHOPE, joins The IVY Podcast to talk about how he and his friends built the socially-conscious brand from the ground up, and their mission of bringing people together to celebrate and serve the world.

What would happen if an entire industry banded together to solve a problem? According to the two leaders on this episode of Add Passion and Stir, the industry would completely solve that problem. John Miller, CEO of Denny’s and Amanda Hite, Co-founder and CEO of Be The Change Revolutions think that the restaurant industry can end child hunger in America. Hite describes the industry as “massive, powerful and influential.” “We’re the industry that feeds people for a living,” says Miller. “Shouldn’t we be involved in being the solution to ending child hunger in America. If not us, then who?” Podcast hosts Share Our Strength founders Billy and Debbie Shore agree. “We can’t wait for the tipping point; we have to force it,” Debbie believes. Both guests are heavily involved with Dine Out for No Kid Hungry, a restaurant-led campaign that raises funds for No Kid Hungry’s work on getting more kids access to school breakfasts, school lunches and summer meals. Denny’s has been a participant for many years, raising over $4M for hungry kids. “The infrastructure of Dine Out makes it easy,” says Miller. “You see the need, you see the kids, you see the difference you’re making.” Hite, who created a social media company because she was impressed by the internet’s ability to bring communities together and ignite for change, sees the power of all the participating restaurants’ networks and fan bases coming together. “You’ll see 200M social media impressions on Dine Out,” she reports. “The Dine Out map broke!” When Billy Shore asks Miller and Hite about the role of partisan politics in fighting child hunger, they are adamant that politics should play no role. Miller believes we can make the case with “stubborn facts” to get people with different political believes working side by side. “These are our children, the next generation of children. They are struggling. They need their voices heard. And they don’t have a chance unless [we] feed them…,” he says. “Those are the facts, so we just have to come together and solve it.” Listen to see how the restaurant industry and others can make kids’ voices heard.

Top Chef Finalist and James Beard Award-winner Bryan Voltaggio teamed with children's advocate Anne Sheridan, the former Executive Director of the Governor's Office for Children in Maryland, to convince the State Legislature to feed hungry children a nutritious breakfast in the classroom. That effort provided the blueprint for helping children across the country to access the food and fuel the need to survive and thrive as more and more states adopt the School Breakfast Program.

James Beard Award-winning chef Jody Adams of Porto--and formerly of Rialto-- talks with Billy and and Paul Grogan, the President of the Boston Foundation, about the secret cure for childhood hunger that is achievable today in our nation's schools.

The goal this year is $200K+. How DQ changed its ask from a dollar amount to a meal amount and raised more money. The power of incentives to solicit donations. Joe shares a painful DQ regret. Does DQ ask for specific donation at the register, or do they let the customer decide? Key takeaway: don't pressure people. What employees think of the program, and how Vasari has grown their engagement with communication, storytelling and swag. Why DQ doesn't ask for donations through the pinpad. Employees do all the asking. How DQ avoids donor fatigue. The business benefit of supporting a cause.

Switchboard for May 24 2007 from VPR. Fran Stoddard hosts a conversation about hunger's effect on the development and education of children, and how childhood hunger has an impact far beyond an individual family.
