Thirty-five million people in the United States, more than 13 million of them children, don�t know where their next meal is coming from, according to America�s Second Harvest, the nation�s largest hunger relief group. Food pantries and kitchen programs report that summer is a particularly bad time for childhood hunger often because school meal programs end. Baseball Hall of Famer Ozzie Smith is joining with America�s Second Harvest and the Dannon Company to help increase funds and volunteerism for feeding the hungry this summer:
�Well, I think it�s a very, very important issue because there�s so many kids that go hungry. And I also feel that it�s important for me and people like myself, to try and help out when you can.�
During the summer months, you can help make a difference by visiting dannon-dot-com. For every �click� on the Strike Out Hunger seal, Dannon will donate one dollar, which is the equivalent of 15 meals, to America�s Second Harvest.
