Do you know someone fighting to end child hunger in your community? If so, nominate him or her-- or, even yourself-- to become a Champion Against Child Hunger.
The ConAgra Foods Foundation is looking to honor champions for their hard work in the fight to end child hunger. For every nomination, ConAgra will donate $10 to Share Our Strength, up to $20,000 through January 22, 2010.
Nominating a champion is super easy. Just fill out an online form, submit a short essay and upload a picture. Five finalists will be chosen and then online voting will commence whereby ConAgra will donate $1 for every vote entered (up to $80,000).

Each finalist is a winner receiving a cash prize of $500 as a reward for their advocacy, and a matching donation of $500 to Share Our Strength or their hunger relief organization of choice. The grand prize winner will receive a trip to New York City, a tour of The Food Network studios, and a cash prize of $1,500, as well as a donation of $5,000 to Share Our Strength or their hunger relief organization of choice.
Again, the submission deadline is next week, Friday, Jan 22. Now get to it!
And, good luck.

The Hotspot originally started out as a monthly-or-so feature written by our favorite storytellers. Usually products or services were highlighted that tickled us. Over the past year delightful innovations and introductions in the maternity and parenting space have increased, and we feel we need a space to share our discoveries with you. Daily news stories on parenting also inspire us to communicate with you. As such, the Hotspot is now the Alpha Mom daily blog. Finally!
From time-to-time we will feature products that we like. Since there is no pay for play, we only feature products that excite us. However, we do want to know about new product and service introductions and innovations so feel free to drop us a note at contact@alphamom.com.
