SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwire - Dec 26, 2011) - Nearly 49 million Americans, or one in six, don't always know where their next meal will come from.

Hunger is a problem we can tackle with the right team, right plays and right focus.

This football season, [ Kraft Foods ] has been on a mission to make an impact with the second year of its [ Huddle to Fight Hunger ] campaign, the larger hunger relief effort of its kind, to help donate the monetary equivalent of 25 million meals to [ Feeding America ].
