Walmart has made a commitment to donate $2 billion by 2015 to the fight against hunger in America. This holiday, the Capital Area Food Bank (CAFB) in Austin has the chance to receive $1 million if Austin-Round Rock receives the most "likes" on the campaign webpage. The contest ends December 31.

The BOR Community can help to promote this opportunity:

2. Click on the "get friends involved button" on the campaign page to post a message and the link to your Facebook wall.  Add a special message that would mean a lot to your friends. This is key. Some examples of what you could say to encourage your Facebook friends to participate:

Demand is up 30-40% over last year. Folks who used to donate are now recipients of assistance, due to loss of jobs and economic hardship.

CAFB makes it possible for the 350 Partner Agencies in Central Texas to help those in need. Please share.

You can do your part to help the hungry in Central Texas without leaving home.

Can you imagine how many Central Texans the Capital Area Food Bank could feed with $1,000,000? I'll give you a hint: every $5 donated provides $25 worth of food.

Please share this opportunity with everyone. There's never been a better reason to be on Facebook.

Help turn Hungry Holidays into Happy Holidays by voting and sharing this with everyone you know.

3.     Send an email about the campaign to your friends.

Thank you for your support. Together we can bring $1 million to nourish hungry Central Texans and turn Hungry Holidays into Happy Holidays.

Thank y'all.
