Celebrities "Bar" Up To End World Hunger

What if your favorite fruit and nut bar was not just a midday snack, but was also a meal for a hungry child across the globe? Well now, it can be!

When Hollywood actors Todd Grinnell, Ryan Devlin and Ravi Patel visited Liberia, they were heartbroken by the poverty they encountered. In fact, the epidemic is so severe that one child dies of malnourishment once every 12 seconds. Upon their return, they knew they had to do something, and quickly.

Todd distinctly remembers the moment that spurred them to action. "There was one little baby in a refugee camp who was the first child that stopped us dead in our tracks," he recalled. "The sadness in this mother's eyes and the helplessness that you can see that she felt was staggering."

That powerful impression was the spark they needed to begin building an organization and the end-to-end process that could deliver emergency food aid to kids who needed it, anywhere in the world. Firstly, the team did significant research and testing and created a healthy, nutritious fruit and nut bar made with premium ingredients. Then, utilizing the familiar 'buy one, give one' marketing technique, they combined a consumer purchase of this new snack bar with the delivery of a specially formulated food packet, jam packed full of vitamins and nutrients to treat malnutrition, to a child in need on the other side of the world.

This Bar Saves Lives eventually attracted the attention of A-list celebrities like Kristen Bell who jumped in and immediately lent their support. By the end of the year, the co-founders hope to sell 1 million bars, giving struggling families across the world a chance at life!

Watch how these actors, turned "snacktivists", are spreading hope and making a difference, one bar at a time!

Dance Gave Her Love, a Community, and an Identity

At 2 1/2 years old, Shaina Schwartz and her Mom went to see the Nutcracker. Even though this was the first time she had ever seen any kind of a dance performance, as soon as it was over she excitedly said, "Mommy, that's what I want to do!"

Her long road toward becoming a dancer and then an owner and founder of a dance company had its share of ups and downs. Shaina started taking ballet lessons at a professional studio in New Hampshire at 5 years old and in her younger years, the regimen and regularity of the training was a good fit for her serious nature.

Blind Waiter Serves Up Diner Classics and Life Lessons

The flickering neon sign reflects eerily off the aging, chrome exterior; a long smooth marble counter with spinning stools draws your gaze left and right as you enter; the checkered linoleum floor seeps under the rows of back-to-back leather booths enveloped by the rain streaked wrap-around windows. You may think you've entered a typical American roadside eatery, but your experience here will be anything but ordinary.

You have just stepped into the Bendix Diner, a staple in Hasbrouck Heights, New Jersey since the 1940's. It's no surprise that The Bendix can serve up a sizzling Burger with deep fried onion rings and a frothy chocolate shake. What is unique about this meal is the waiter who delivers it to your table – his name is John Diakakis, and he is blind.

Gary Sinise, Travels with the USO and Supports Our Troops!

You may recognize the actor Gary Sinise from his role in Forrest Gump: Lieutenant Dan, who fought alongside Forrest in Vietnam—and later reunited with him as a disabled veteran. It was his experience in the role of Lt. Dan that inspired Gary to get involved with helping military veterans who became disabled as a result of their service.

That was back in the 1990s; since then, Gary has committed even more time to supporting current and former military service people. He's gone on several tours with the USO, meeting with and performing for active troops.
