Today is the National Hunger-Free Summer Day – and to celebrate, the Hunger-Free Summer Spokesperson will take everyone through the ConAgra Foods Foundations Hunger-Free Summer Campaign! Check out the details Below!
#HungerFreeSummer Twitter party:
What: A Twitter party on National Hunger-Free Summer Day, May 23.
When: Thursday, May 23, at 4p ET – the party will last for 30 minutes.
Why: During the school year, 21.5 million children rely on free or reduced-price meals to help them from going hungry. When school is out, only 2.3 million children participate in the Summer Food Service Program (SFSP). This means there are millions of children at an increased risk of hunger during the summer. Children may not have access to summer meal assistance programs for a variety of reasons, but you CAN help ensure they are fed by supporting the ConAgra Foods Foundation’s Hunger-Free Summer program.
Who: Hunger-Free Summer spokesperson, actor, and proud father of five Chris O’Donnell (@chrisodonnell) will take us through the ConAgra Foods Foundation’s Hunger-Free Summer campaign during a 30-minute Twitter party with @ConAgraFoods, @ChildHungerEnds and @FeedingAmerica.

Even though I missed this event, I wanted to read more about it. The thought of a child going hungry just makes me sad and angry. I had no idea that in our country alone there were so many! When I was in school, the cafeteria served free lunch every day during the summer. Times sure have changed and sadly not for the better in this case. Thank you for sharing.
