Tyson Goal Reached! 100,000 lbs of Free Food on the Way!

Thank you! In just over a day, we collected enough Twitter messages to put 100,000 pounds of protein-rich food onto Tyson trucks headed for the San Francisco Food Bank. Wondering just how much food that is? It will fill three huge tractor-trailers! Learn more about Tyson's donation and see the eye-opening hunger facts people were tweeting here. Feel free to keep on tweeting, too!
