United We Serve: Feed a Neighbor

As we get ready to celebrate Thanksgiving with family and friends, let us also pause and acknowledge that many of our neighbors are struggling to make ends meet and put food on the table. President Obama is calling on all of us to come together to solve hunger in our communities. In this spirit, the Corporation for National and Community Service is launching the United We Serve: Feed a Neighbor initiative. Find an opportunity to serve by using the keyword "hunger" in our "Find a Volunteer Opportunity" search engine (to the right) or download our anti-hunger toolkit to get started today.

President Obama, United We Serve, and the NFL Team Up for Fitness and Service

In support of his United We Serve initiative, President Obama and NFL stars Drew Brees, DeMarcus Ware, and Troy Polamalu team up to highlight the importance of fitness for America's children. The NFL's Play 60 initiative stresses that young people can live a healthy lifestyle by engaging in 60 minutes of physical activity a day. The President's United We Serve initiative encourages all Americans to get engaged in their communities and help create a brighter future for our nation's youth through service.
