Get caught up with Fed Up

Here are our fave Fed Up With Hunger moments thus far. If you haven’t yet heard, Fed Up is a community-wide initiative to end hunger in L.A.

>> The Jewish community banded together during the High Holidays, collecting and donating over 180,000 lbs of food. Amazing!

>> More than 1,000 people showed up to the Hollywood Forever Screening of GHOSTBUSTERS, a foodraiser put on by the Entertainment Industry Leadership Institute that pulled in nearly 5,000 lbs of canned goods! “We came. We saw. We kicked hunger’s (asterisk).” – Peter Venkman

>>The 4th graders at Para Los Ninos Elementary School and Heschel Day School hosted a cross-cultural Sukkot, inviting people from all over LA. Special guests for the evening were the clients and volunteers from Chrysalis, which helps people who lose their homes get back on their feet. It was a very special experience!

>> Perez Hilton blogged about us! Like it or not, Hollywood’s Most Hated Website has a big following. We’re hoping that some of those folks will get as rabid about fighting hunger as they are about consuming celebrity gossip.

>> Alyssa Milano tweeted the Get Fed Up contest, which was announced on mentalfloss.com. Forward the video on the homepage at GiveLifeMeaning.org and you’ll be entered to win a new iPod Nano with video!

Get involved and help us make LA a hunger-free zone!
