Time to Help!

It's been a long day, it's about dinner time, and there's a serious rumblin' in my tumblin' (yeah, I wrote that.)

And there's plenty food in my kitchen to satiate it.

But there are just too many people in California who don't have that reassurance.

Thankfully, September is Hunger Action Month.

For those of us tight on expendable income for donations, there's another very clever option to make a difference.

Tyson Foods, the San Francisco Food Bank, and the Social Media Club of San Francisco have enacted the "Hunger Challenge."

Social media = pounds and pounds of food donated by Tyson.

500 pounds, to be exact, for this blog entry!

That's a lot of chicken.

And there's no excuse not to partake.

Tweets or retweets of any of these facts will result in a 100-pound donation. Very impressive--they've even given you numerous 140-character facts to tweet.

For example:

In San Francisco, 150,000 people are unsure where their next meal is coming from.

1 in 5 San Francisco adults can’t count on daily meals they need to lead healthy, productive lives.

and

5.3 million Californians are living below the federal poverty line ($21,834 for a family of 4).

So tweet away!

I wouldn't say I'm a huge computer person or knowledgeable about much of anything remotely techie, but I certainly know enough to get my fellow San Franciscans their next meal.
