America’s Second Harvest expects to generate $20,000 from food manufacturer Quaker
in its click-to-give campaign, according to Donordigital.
The latest newsletter 
of US online fundraising and marketing agency Donordigital reports that Quaker will
donate $1 every time the lunch bag graphic is clicked on in an HTML e-mail sent 
by food bank non-profit America’s Second Harvest.

The e-mail read: “No such thing as a free lunch? There is now…for KIDS! Click the
lunch bag below, and Quaker will donate $1.00 to help provide a lunch to hungry 
children and their families.” It was sent to 18,000 online donors and activists 
on 22 May 2003, and more than 7,500 clicked on the lunch bag.

Second Harvest hopes to secure 20,000 clicks by 5 June, which is National Hunger
Awareness Day in the USA. Quaker has promised to give up to $20,000.
