YouTube Community Gives Thanks to Those That Help the Hungry
Thursday, November 26, 2009
Earlier this month, as part of
YouTube Video Volunteers
, we asked you to create a short video for the nonprofit organization of your choice tackling the issue of hunger in America. Today, we're featuring the top three submissions, chosen by our partner
Feeding America
and curator David Arquette, on the YouTube homepage in honor of Thanksgiving, to recognize the important work that is being done to feed those in need.
We were surprised and excited by the range of videos submitted. For example, partner
bigedude33
penned an
original song
about the Food Bank of Central New York, while
HavilahTower
lent her voice to the Capital Area Food Bank in Texas:
Filmmakers like
CassieJaye
and
nsmith345
powerfully depicted the faces of American citizens being helped by their local food pantries, while vlogger Shawn Ahmed went inside the L.A. Regional Food Bank to demonstrate exactly how they provide support to the Los Angeles community:
To view all Video Volunteer submissions for this month, please visit
