- Super Sprowtz PSA [ No comments]
- June 22, 2011
Last month, Share Our Strength teamed up with the [Super Sprowtz](http://www.supersprowtz.com/) , a children’s education and entertainment media company that uses super-powered vegetable puppet characters, books, animation, music videos, humor, video games and apps to teach kids about healthy eating, growing their own food, fitness and sustainability, at the launch of the Virginia No Kid Hungry Campaign. The event was a huge success and the Super Sprowtz were a big hit with the kids and adults alike. Following the event we had the pleasure of shooting this great PSA . Share Our Strength is happy to have these wonderful veggies on board and looks forward to much more collaboration in the future!

I have been lucky to be a part of the Share Our Strength family since last October and have no shortage of motivation for the work that we do here. There are 17 million kids (that’s one in four) in our country who face hunger. I spend a lot of time talking about the sobering statistics and how the work of No Kid Hungry state and city-wide campaigns can help change them. Most days I do this from an office in Washington, D.C., but on March 15 I had the great opportunity as part of the Los Angeles No Kid Hungry Campaign launch to visit Rosecrans Elementary School in Compton, CA to observe an innovative Breakfast in the Classroom program.

Last week we launched our National No Kid Hungry campaign in Washington, D.C. with our spokesperson, Jeff Bridges. The very next day we were in New Orleans to kick off our first citywide No Kid Hungry Campaign. The launch was a great success!
