Share Something Sweet...a program to end childhood hunger in the United States

Share Something Sweet is a partnership between chocolate company Ferrero and Share Our Strength, a leading hunger-relief organization. This partnership is in its second year, and this year Ferrero has donated $150,000 to Share Our Strength and is giving others a chance to add to that donation. Right now, if you log on to Share Something Sweet and use it to “send something sweet” (that is, a customizable e-card), Ferrero will donate another $1 per e-card sent, up to $10,000. And for every person that joins the Ferrero Facebook page, “Ferrero Lovers Unite,” Ferrero will donate another $1 to Share Our Strength (up to $1,000).

The Ferrero Company was established in 1946 in Alba, Italy. The company’s first and most popular product was made with hazelnuts and cocoa, resulting the formula for the #1 selling sweet spread in the world – Nutella. The company has grown to include the very popular Ferrero Rocher chocolates and many other fabulous sweets.
