Christ Church student becomes published author aged just 11
While most Year 6 students are focused on mastering maths homework or kicking the footy after school, 11-year-old Eason Yin from Christ Church Grammar School has accomplished something remarkable — he's written and published a 27,000-word historical novel. His book, Iron Frosted Snow: An Officer's Journal, is set during the Battle of Stalingrad in World War II and is told through the fictional diary of a German military officer. The story explores the personal experiences and complex realities of life during wartime. The novel is the result of Eason's two years of independent research. Drawing on a broad range of sources, from history books and documentaries to films, Eason even taught himself German on Duolingo — just in case his characters needed it. Published through the US-based non-profit Bookmark League, Eason has pledged to donate all proceeds from sales to No Kid Hungry, a global organisation working to combat child hunger. 'I wanted to write something meaningful,' Eason said. 'Even though I'm young, I think stories can help people understand the past and maybe make a better future.' The Christ Church student's project has impressed teachers, readers and community members, not just for its subject matter but for the dedication and effort behind it. Iron Frosted Snow: An Officer's Journal is available on Amazon in both Kindle and paperback formats.

Toast Commits $5M to Combat Food Insecurity, Partners with No Kid Hungry
Toast Inc. (NYSE:TOST) is one of the best software infrastructure stocks to invest in. Earlier on June 4, Toast announced a significant philanthropic commitment: $5 million over the next 5 years to combat global food insecurity. The initiative begins with a US partnership with No Kid Hungry, which is a national campaign by Share Our Strength dedicated to ending childhood hunger. The partnership primarily addresses summer hunger, which is a particularly vulnerable time for children who rely on school meals for their daily nutritional needs. Currently, only 13% of children who receive free or reduced-price meals during the school year have access to them in the summer. To combat this, Toast CEO and Co-Founder Aman Narang signed No Kid Hungry's CEO Pledge to End Summer Hunger, which is an initiative aimed at increasing the number of children receiving summertime meals nationwide from 2.8 million to 31 million annually.

Efforts include encouraging the company's restaurant customers and their guests to participate through Toast Fundraising campaigns. Additionally, which is the company's philanthropic arm, is launching a new grant program to scale the impact of restaurants involved in local anti-hunger relief efforts across the US. Toast Inc. (NYSE:TOST) operates a cloud-based digital technology platform for the restaurant industry in the US, Ireland, India, and internationally. While we acknowledge the potential of TOST as an investment, we believe certain AI stocks offer greater upside potential and carry less downside risk.

HelloFresh and No Kid Hungry Launch Hunger Hero Campaign to Combat Summer Hunger
HelloFresh rallies support to raise awareness and fight hunger with new 'Hunger Heroes' initiative – including TikTok stars and chefs Tini Younger, Eitan Bernath and more. NEW YORK, June 23, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HelloFresh, the world's leading meal kit provider, and No Kid Hungry, a campaign focused on ending childhood hunger, announced today the "Hunger Hero" campaign to raise awareness of rising hunger across the US. The meal kit brand is tapping celebrated online chefs and dedicated hunger relief advocates, including Tini Younger, Eitan Bernath and Becca and Justin Schwartz, to serve as ambassadors of the campaign and raise awareness of childhood food insecurity during the summer months, inspiring others to join in the cause. In the US, 1 in 5 kids face hunger. This staggering reality is only heightened during the summer months when kids are out of school and lose access to the dependable nutrition they get at school during the academic year. Impending cuts to SNAP and other critical programs, coupled with a looming crisis for food banks, threaten to make the issue even worse. Galvanizing Hunger Heroes to Help Fight Food Insecurity Through a combination of social- and event-led initiatives, the Hunger Hero campaign will provide individuals with a call-to-action to help address childhood hunger in their own communities. HelloFresh kicks off the program today with a series of distribution events in New York City, NY; Atlanta, GA; and Phoenix, AZ where families can access free HelloFresh meal kits filled with nutritious, family-friendly recipes, along with vital resources on summer EBT, SNAP benefits and information on where to access support through No Kid Hungry. Each event will be joined by a notable "Hunger Hero," an influencer, chef, and or "foodie" who is actively committed to fighting food insecurity in their own communities. Tini Younger, who volunteers in her own backyard at Atlanta Mission, Eitan Bernath, a high-level supporter of the United Nations World Food Programme; and Becca and Justin Schwartz, who actively volunteer with Feed My Starving Children by hosting community volunteer events with their followers, will all serve as Hunger Heroes, providing assistance and awareness about the issue. Beyond hosting these events, each Hunger Hero will call upon their followers to commit to fighting hunger — whether through donating to No Kid Hungry, volunteering at a local food bank or even simply raising awareness in their own communities. For every like, share, or comment on campaign-related posts, HelloFresh will make a donation to No Kid Hungry in support of their vital work feeding families year-round up to $10,000 from June through August. The meal kit brand will also be running a social media campaign spotlighting everyday hunger heroes — including food bank leaders and educators — to spotlight the important work they do every day and inspire the brand's followers to join in the cause. "From my time volunteering at Atlanta Mission, I've met many families trying their best, but struggling to put meals on the table," said viral chef Tini Younger. "Fighting food insecurity is deeply important to me. Being a part of this campaign is not just about food. It's about dignity, joy and the chance for kids to be kids." "Every day, we're witnessing more families struggling with hunger — and during the summer months, the need becomes even more urgent," said Adam Kalikow, Senior Vice President and Managing Director at HelloFresh US. "That's why we're doubling down on our efforts to help close the summer hunger gap. By partnering with some notable 'hunger heroes' like Tini, Eitan, Becca and Justin, we're able to bring more attention to this growing issue while making a tangible impact. We invite everyone to get involved and look forward to spotlighting hunger heroes across the country — those stepping up and making a real difference in their communities." "We're incredibly thankful for the continued support from HelloFresh to combat childhood food insecurity," said Allison Shuffield, Managing Director of Corporate Partnerships. "At a time of increased need, the support from corporations like HelloFresh is that much more important to ensure children are not going hungry this summer."
