NEW YORK, Oct. 17, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- In honor of United Nations World Food Day, Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson is challenging the world to help provide one million meals for hungry children in just one week.

In addition, Jackson will match the donation and provide a million more meals if the Like count reaches 1 million within the week.

"People who want to help fight hunger are not being asked to donate or pay anything to help. It's real simple. All they have to do is Like the Street King page on Facebook and I will give a meal to a hungry kid," said Jackson.

Once a user Likes the page, he or she will be encouraged to invite friends to do the same. Jackson and Street King will work with the United Nations World Food Programme to fulfill the meal donation as they continue to fight hunger worldwide.

Each day we get closer to our goal of providing one billion meals over the next five years and helping end world hunger."
