Don't you just love back to school and thinking about what to make for lunch? I always dread it as my one child is so picky so it's hard to make interesting lunches with better ingredients. I always hope that the school lunch will be good even though I know my prepared lunch would most likely be better and healthier for her. One thing that happened in our school system last year at the end of the year were notifications of a huge amount of back fees for unpaid lunch. I saw it on our local FreeCyclers group and was taken back by the mean comments by those not understanding why a child may not have money to pay for lunch. The truth is many people can't afford it then and more now. This is where Hellmann's comes into play for this post.

Hellmann's® and Best Foods® Mayonnaise are putting the fun back into lunch this September with their virtual Sandwich Swap 'n' Share program. Celebrity chef Bobby Flay and actress/mom Lori Loughlin are teaming up with Hellmann's® to help re-launch Hellmann's® virtual Sandwich Swap 'n' Share on the Facebook® application (Facebook.com/Hellmanns). This virtual version of the beloved school lunch ritual of swapping sandwiches will benefit Share Our Strength®, the leading non-profit organization ending childhood hunger in America.

When people visit Hellmann's® Page on Facebook®, they'll have the opportunity to create a sandwich on the application and, for every sandwich built, Hellmann's® will make a donation to Share Our Strength®. What's more, when they share a sandwich with a friend, an additional donation will be made as part of Hellmann's® $75,000 commitment to support Share Our Strength®.

This is a great and FREE way to help others that are hungry! Take a moment and try it out please!
