COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. — Food Network personality Sandra Lee talked about the problem of hungry children in America on FOX21 Morning News — and offered up a way the public can help.
Lee is the campaign spokesperson for The Great American Bake Sale, which is put together each year by Share Our Strength.
In fact, Share Our Strength and the Colorado Coalition to End Hunger launched “The Campaign to End Childhood Hunger in Colorado” to increase the number of Colorado school children receiving breakfasts and summer lunches. According to Share Our Strength, 17.2 percent of the state’s children are considered “food insecure” — which means they lack access to adequate food supplies.
Events like The Great American Bake Sale allow communities to contribute to the cause on a grass-roots level, Lee said, because it allows people to organize a bake sale in neighborhood and then donate the proceeds directly to the Share Our Strength efforts.
