Help YouTube Document Hunger in America

categories: Hunger, Nonprofits, Nonprofit Profiles

Published November 06, 2009 @ 09:00AM PT

Do you know of or work for a nonprofit organization that helps to alleviate the causes of hunger in America? If so, our friends over at YouTube want to hear (and see!) about it.

YouTube's Video Volunteer program is a simple way to raise awareness about the organizations and issues you care about. This month, the program is seeking short videos (of no more than three minutes) profiling nonprofits that work to end hunger in America.

It doesn't matter if you're involved with Feeding America or a tiny food pantry in a rural area. This is a fantastic opportunity to show the world how you work to stop hunger in the United States everyday.

If that wasn't enough, the top three videos submitted will be featured on the YouTube homepage at the end of November.

Go out there and get those cameras rolling, and then click here to submit your video!

This is a great initiative by Youtube and Feeding America. Faces of Hunger ran a film competition also, which is in the voting stage. Our contest differs from Youtube's because we're more interested in putting the spotlight on hunger itself. We seek to create change by showing people that the hunger we experience in this country is a social entity and not due to any environmental factors. We 100% support youtube and food pantries in general but our mission is to end hunger at the root. Please come see the submissions that we recieved by filmmakers 25 and under. Maybe some will inspire you in the making of your film for the youtube competition. Don't forget to vote!! Voting ends Dec 4.
