Beyonce's 2009 Hunger Fighting Tour 

In 2007 Touch1.org was launched during Beyonce's world tour with food drives organized  by Pastor Rudy during her concerts in Houston, Atlanta, D.C., Chicago, and Los Angeles. Thousands of pounds of food was donated to food banks in each tour city. This year General Mills Foods (Hamburger Helper) is partnering with Beyonce with the goal of conquering hunger in America.

This year Beyoncé and Hamburger Helper are partnering with the goal of helping Feeding America, the nation's leading hunger-relief charity, deliver more than 3.5 million meals to local food banks in tour  cities:

About Touch1.org 

The movement was expanded internationally during her stops in Ethiopia, India, and Istanbul. Zimbabwe in 2008. Touch1.org is about people – people committed to "Touch One and Change the World" and to make hunger, homelessness, and HIV a thing of the past. As Touch1.org, we are asking everyone to do more to fight hunger, the indignity of homelessness, and the pandemic of HIV.

The people of Touch1.org believe that providing basic needs like an adequate food supply, safe decent and sanitary housing, and HIV prevention will transform the futures and hopes of an entire generation in America and the world. Touch1.org is a nonpartisan subsidiary of the Bread of Life, Inc. There’s only one side in this battle. Working together across America, Touch1.org members are using their collective voices to speak the truth in love to the people who can make the changes happen on behalf of the people who need change to happen.The goal of ending poverty may seem lofty, but it is within our reach if we take action together as one. 

Hunger Facts

One in eight Americans struggles with hunger. More than 12 million children don't always have enough to eat — and during the summer months, when children lose access to school meal programs, the problem gets even worse. Hunger strikes urban, rural, and suburban areas — and every age, ethnic, and class demographic.

• Households with children have nearly double the hunger rates of families without children.
• More than 40 percent of families who visit food shelves served by Feeding America live in the suburbs.
• 40 percent of those who visit food shelves are the working poor: those who work, but whose paychecks do not cover the basic necessities of life.
