On Thursday February 10th America’s Egg Farmers will be serving FREE Breakfast Samples to Commuters, and Donate Eggs to NYC Food Bank! So stop by Grand Central Terminal and while you are there, you can sample tasty egg dishes and talk to egg farmers. Some Activities be held for the event include:

•FREE samples of easy grab-and-go egg recipes
•Interactive cooking demonstrations with fellow New Yorker, Howard Helmer, the World’s Fastest Omelet Maker and Jeffrey Saad, Cooking Channel host of “United Tastes of America”
•Fight hunger by signing the Good Egg Project pledge to “Eat good and do good every day.” For every signature, America’s egg farmers will donate one egg to Feeding America

More than 3 million New York City residents experienced difficulty affording food in 2010, which is why America’s egg farmers will also be donating 100,000 eggs on February 9, to the Food Bank of New York City, the largest food bank in the metropolitan area. The food bank serves more than 1,000 community-based member programs and helps to provide 400,000 free meals a day for New Yorkers in need.

Eggs are all-natural, and one egg has 13 essential vitamins and minerals all for 70 calories. At less than 15 cents apiece, eggs are an affordable and delicious breakfast option for your family’s big days.
