Regardless if you are a Coke or Pepsi person, you've got to be in favor of feeding 9 million hungry Americans, and starting Wednesday, Sept.1, you can vote to make that happen.
Each month Pepsi grants 1.3 million dollars to fund ideas that will help refresh the world, and the Society of St. Andrew, a grassroots, faith-based hunger relief organization, will be competing for $250,000 in the food and shelter category. It's simple--the idea with the most votes gets the money.
The Society of St. Andrew relies on 
support from donors, volunteers and farmers as they glean nutritious excess produce from farmers' fields and orchards after harvest and deliver it to people in need across the United States. They figure with a quarter of a million dollars, they can provide 9 million servings of food to hungry Americans. All they need is your vote.
When Pepsi decided to forego advertising in last year's monumental Super Bowl and donate $20 million dollars to social causes instead, competitors thought they were crazy. But I can think of at least 9 million Americans who don't think that was such a crazy idea.
