Feeding America PSA – Version 2

May 272010

Feeding America is proud to partner with the Ad Council to raise awareness of domestic hunger. Our 1 in 8 campaign began in November 2008, and is running on television, radio, in print and online. Based on statistics from the United States Department of Agriculture, we know that one in eight Americans struggles with hunger each year. Through Feeding America and our nationwide network of more than 200 food banks, everyone can help the people in their life who are in need.

Acclaimed director Tony Kaye filmed the television components, which are set to the song Never Let Go by Tom Waits. The PSAs mark the first time Waits has authorized his music to be used by a nonprofit organization or corporation in a commercial application. We would like to thank Mr. Kaye and Mr. Waits for their tremendous contributions to help raise awareness of hunger in America.

    I know how you feel.

    I’ve been homeless and malnourished before, and I can safely say that giving back to the people and organizations that helped me is the best feeling I’ve ever had.

    cursedangel123: that’s because it’s Tom Waits, who records in glorious lo-fi hi-fi. He’s spent 25+ years protecting his music from being used in commercials, and has released this track, off of 2006’s Orphans album, to the cause. Because it’s a cause worth giving to.
