“Talking with superstar actor and musician Billy Ray Cyrus was ah-mazing,” Gretchen says. Not to mention the cred she got with her country music loving husband! Billy Ray joined Mommycast to tell families how they can support Feeding America, the nation’s leading domestic hunger-relief charity, by logging onto facebook at www.facebook.com/hellmanns and making a virtual sandwich. Easy peasy, right? For each sandwich you make, Hellman’s and Best Foods will donate seven lunches to Feeding America!
