Tyson Donation Arrives!

On October 29, a Tyson truck pulled up to the San Francisco Food Bank with 35,000 pounds of chicken, thanks to the Hunger Challenge!

Hunger Challenge bloggers Amy Sherman (Cooking with Amy) and Faith Kramer (Blog Appetit) were interviewed by two TV news stations, along with Ed Nicholson of Tyson and Paul Ash of SF Food Bank. This was SF Food Bank's share of the 200,000 pounds Tyson donated to six Bay Area Food Banks. Read all about it here - and check out the slide show to the left.

Thanks to 2,000 Comments, Tyson Donation Goal is Reached!

In less than a week, 2,000 people visited the Tyson Hunger Relief website and made comments. Each of your comments added 100 pounds of high-protein food to Tyson trucks heading for Bay Area food banks.

We've hit our goal, and much of the 200,000 pounds of food have already arrived. Thanks to everyone who helped us!
