One in Five Children in America Cannot Count on Getting Enough to Eat Each Day

Did you know according to the U.S. Census Bureau, one in five children in America cannot count on getting enough to eat each day? Today, one in six Americans struggles with hunger!

The Face of Hunger in American Has Changed!

To do their part, Bruegger’s Bagels kicked off a month-long campaign on September 4 to support Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® campaign, joining thousands of restaurants in a fight to end childhood hunger by 2015.

How You Can Help

1. Simply “Like” Bruegger’s  on Facebook and the bagel leader will donate $1 to Dine Out for No Kid Hungry. Encourage your readers to do the same. For every new “Like” your readers will know they have provided up to 10 kids with a healthy meal.
2. In Brugger’s bakeries, guests can purchase coupon books for $3, with 100 percent of the proceeds going to the cause. Each $3 purchase helps provide a child with up to 30 nutritious meals, and guests can use the coupons, worth more than $20 in approximate value, including free bagels, soups or sandwiches (some with purchase) for the next few months.
3. Place a button on your blog or website  and link to http://www.facebook.com/Brueggers.
4. Spread the word via Twitter and Facebook!!!

Brugger’s says, “We need your help to end childhood hunger, so we’ve instituted a fun contest to drive coupon book sales, call Tweet for Meals.” Bruegger’s hope is to quadruple its donation from $25,000 in 2011 to $100,000 in 2012, to help No Kid Hungry raise awareness, support school breakfast, summer and after-school meal programs, and educate kids and their families on how to cook healthy, inexpensive meals. The campaign ends Sept. 22.

Here’s how Tweet for Meals works:

• Follow @brueggers yourself and ask your readers to follow Bruegger’s on Twitter.
• Ask you fans to send a tweet to both you and @bruegger’s when they purchase a $3 coupon book at Bruegger’s with 100% of the proceeds going to Dine Out for No Kid Hungry. Tweet could read:
  @your twitter name @brueggers I just helped feed 30 children by buying a coupon book #nokidhungy
• The blogger with the most Tweets will win $100 in Bruegger’s Gift Cards and Bruegger’s will also select random tweets from your readers to win $10 in Gift Card.
