thanks for documenting Share Our Strength's most recent work. It's nice to look back over the past 9 months and see over time how strategy can be improved and results achieved - and that it doesn't magically over night!

I'm adding to the wiki that collects how hunger activists are using social media - including Share our Strengths first forays into social media last October

Scott – anytime. It's interesting to note that SOS did a lot of work with social media in order to create these relationships. Those relationships then served as a springboard.

John:

Thanks for shining your spotlight on the great work Jeff and the rest of the Share Our Strength team are doing. It was because of the solid foundation he had built that we reached out to Share Our Strength to be our national non-profit partner for the Pledge to End Hunger.

Jeff put himself and his organization in the position to be part of what we did and what Danny Brown did. Those non-profits who realize the need to make it easy for people pick up their flag and rally the cause will be the ones who stay relevant in the Interconnected Age.

Kudos to you for highlighting his work and kudos to Jeff for his persistent efforts to build an actively engaged community.
