Guy Fieri at L.A. launch, "No Kid Hungry" campaign

According to a Share Our Strength press release, a coalition of celebrities, government leaders, corporations and nonprofits launched a drive dubbed "No Kid Hungry" on Wednesday to get more children to sign up for federally funded nutrition programs, which also include free meals during the summer and in child-care centers.

"This is a mission we shouldn't be fighting, a mission that should be solved," said chef Guy Fieri. "We have the resources." Guy will be one of the campaign's celebrity faces. Actor Jeff Bridges, who founded the End Hunger Network in 1983, is serving as the campaign's national spokesman. "One in four kids goes hungry. It's insane," he said. "It doesn't have to be this way."
