Here’s one more great reason to have an “I’m Tired of Hunger” bracelet and a new fun way of getting one…
Some of the country’s finest restaurants are coming together for the Help ♥ Haiti campaign, an initiative that kicks off this Valentine’s Day at TOUCH nightclub to benefit survivors of the earthquake in Haiti. The campaign’s New York Lead Sponsor is The Tour de France Restaurant Group, comprised of Nice Matin, Marseille, Café D’Alsace, Le Monde, Pigalle, Maison, France L’Express, the uptown and downtown branches of French Roast, as well as a growing list of participants.
From February 15th through the 28th, whenever a guest orders a meal at one of the participating restaurants while wearing an “I’m Tired of Hunger“ bracelet, the restaurant will donate $2.40, the cost of one day’s supply of Ready-to-Use Foods for an acutely malnourished child, to Action Against Hunger | ACF-International.
“I’m Tired of Hunger” bracelets will be distributed during the Help ♥ Haiti kick-off event at TOUCH nightclub on Valentine’s Day. Even if you don’t live in New York or can’t attend the event, you can still help by buying the bracelet online, here on the website. Maybe you have friends or relatives in New York?
Help ♥ Haiti campaign sponsors include TOUCH nightclub, Ultimat Vodka, Vitella’s Cucina, Captivate Network, and TimeOut New York, along with The Tour de France Restaurant Group.
Action Against Hunger mobilized an emergency response immediately following the earthquake in Haiti. The organization is delivering emergency services in nutrition, sanitation and hygiene and providing clean water for survivors in Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas. Action Against Hunger has assisted thousands of people left homeless and in dire need of life-sustaining supplies over the last three weeks.
The 10th annual Action Against Hunger | ACF-USA Gala was held on November 18th at the Capitale in Manhattan, New York. Ultimat Vodka, who is partnered with ITo and ACF to promote the “I’m Tired of Hunger” bracelets and donate to ACF helped to sponsor the event.
Roger Thurow and Scott Kilman, authors of the book Enough: Why the World’s Poorest Starve in an Age of Plenty, were the co-recipients of the 2009 Action Against Hunger Humanitarian Award.

For every $10 bracelet you buy, Action Against Hunger gets $5 to help save the lives of malnourished children and their families while ensuring access to safe water and sustainable solutions to hunger.
