Beyoncé Shows Her Helping Hand
Oh how I heart Mrs. Beyoncé “Sasha Fierce” Knowles-Carter; not only is she a fabulous performer–but she has a heart and a hand big enough to extend it to those in need. Beyoncé has partnered with Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity, and Hamburger Helper for a new Show Your Helping Hand campaign.
With Beyoncé’s help, SYHH and Feeding America hope to deliver 3.5 million meals to local food banks. With a network of over 200 food banks across the country, Feeding America provides food assistance to over 25 million low-income people facing hunger. So, how can you help?
