Mediaplanet and YMCA of the USA Team Up to Fight Hunger in America
New York, NY (PRWEB) September 16, 2016 -- The annual campaign returns to shed light on the different ways we are helping end hunger in America. From exclusive interviews, resources and inspirational stories, “Feeding Our Nation” tackles the variety of problems that we are dealing with in our country regarding hunger, and ways that we can do individually to make it a thing of the past. It also provides insight to the developing trends and tech within the industry, from leading advocates and associations—namely YMCA of the USA.
The aim of this campaign will be to raise awareness to our readers for Hunger in America, and inspire action ranging from making donations, volunteering, and supporting the organizations that have amazing hunger initiatives. From childhood to senior hunger, and everything in between, we have found amazing solutions to help make hunger a thing of the past. One company that is going above and beyond to help fight hunger in America is YMCA of the USA.
To help kids stay healthy, succeed in school and reach their full potential, the Y feeds kids throughout the summer and afterschool, thanks to support from the Walmart Foundation. Combining educational and physical activity, the programs keep kids’ minds and bodies active, while also serving a healthy to kids who may otherwise be at risk of hunger when the school day ends. Last year, the Y served over 485,000 kids nearly 18 million meals and snacks nationwide.
