Bread Art Event Co-Hosted by the Grain Foods Foundation and Share Our Strength, NYC, April 20, 2010

For every piece of bread art created on www.breadartproject.com by June 30, 2010, the Grain Foods Foundation will donate $1 to Share Our Strength, the leading national

organization working to end childhood hunger in America by 2015.

Here's how far donation dollars can go to feeding hungry children:

$1 can help provide three nutritious meals to a hungry child

$25 can help feed one child three healthy meals every day for a month

$50 can help connect one child with healthy meals throughout the summer

$100 can help provide 25 children facing hunger backpacks full of healthy food to feed them and their families over the weekend

$200 can help buy grocery bags of healthy food for 50 families in need

$500 can help reach 12 low income families with a life changing, 6-week nutritious

cooking and food budgeting course

$1,000 can help expand a summer feeding program to reach hundreds more children

facing hunger during the summer months

Food Network's Melissa d'Arabian of Ten Dollar Dinners.

The Grain Foods Foundation, a joint venture of members from the baking and milling industries, was formed in 2004 to advance public understanding of the beneficial role grain-based foods play in a healthful diet. And last year the Grain Foods Foundation created the Bread Art Project to help raise awareness of child hunger.

The Grain Foods Foundation reached out to New York City mom bloggers to share their mission of helping to end child hunger through their key partnership with Share Our Strength, the leading national organization working to end childhood hunger in America by 2015. The Grain Foods Foundation has already pledged $50,000 to Share Our Strength and with every piece of bread art created on www.breadartproject.com by June 30, 2010, another $1 will be added to the total donation up to $100,000.

Food Network's Melissa d'Arabian of Ten Dollar Dinners shared her childhood story of being raised in a single family home and going without meals as her mother worked and went to school. She understands the importance of feeding hungry children and especially feeding children healthy meals. Moms and their children were treated to whole grain dishes created by d'Arabian from whole grain sandwiches and tartlets to penne pasta salad and bruschetta.
