So yesterday, I posted a note about a new weight loss challenge that I’m interested in participating in. After signing up, they sent me a new email. This time encouraging me to do more if I can.

The details are:

You can by joining Feeding America’s Challenge PLUS—an exciting new way for you to help your community.

And with 1 in 6 Americans struggling with hunger, your help is needed more than ever.
Put your compassion into action today. You can form a team or participate on your own and raise money for the food bank of your choice.
All you have to do is rally your friends, family and neighbors and get started now.

Every dollar you raise will help your community – or wherever you choose. We’ll arm you with the tools you need to make your campaign a success. Let your passion for the fight against hunger do the rest.

So, if you listened to me rant lately on Hunger and the issues faced in Baltimore, you know this struck right in the heart of my passion. I’m really interested in starting a team and doing everything we can to raise funds for the Maryland Food Bank.

My question to you is, would you join me? Would you join a team to help raise funds to help those struggling with hunger? I’m taking a minor poll and if you can post a comment below sharing your interest, that would be awesome! Tonight, over 60,000 people in Baltimore are going to bed hungry. We may not be able to help all of them, but we can start. Please join me!
