Hey M girls!
We had the amazing opportunity to hang out with Beyoncé this week before she took the stage for her "I AM..." tour here in New York City! She talked about a new campaign that she's passionate about called "Show Your Helping Hand," which works to fight hunger in America by collecting non-perishable food items before her concerts!
We were shocked to find out just how big of a problem hunger is in our country...and Beyoncé was, too! "This is really important to me because 1 in 8 Americans don't have food, and that was something that was really surprising to me," B said.
You can get involved, too! Beyoncé encourages her fans to visit www.showyourhelpinghand.com, where you can submit codes from specially marked boxes of Hamburger Helper to help fight hunger. She also says that fans who attend her show may donate food items at designated sites!
This is an awesome campaign that Beyoncé is working on, and we're so glad we got to hear her speak about it. And of course we took some exclusive pics to show you!
Let's dish:
-What causes are most important to you?
