Local mothers of NFL Football players have joined the effort to fight hunger in our area -- and, surprising though it may be, there's lots of hunger in the world's wealthiest nation.

35 moms from The Professional Football Player's Mothers Association have teamed up with the Campbell's Chunky/NFL Tackling Hunger program and Feeding America to help fight the hunger that affects more than 38 million Americans (that's some one in ten).

Two of those moms, Marilyn Porcher and Delores Gray, call the Lowcountry home, and the Charleston City Paper went and investigated what they're planning on doing.
