With a new home in Buffalo, New York with the Bills and a successful reality show, Terrell Owens is feeling good, and wants to spread the goodness by giving back.
Recently, the star wide receiver hooked up with local non-profit, the Food Bank of Western New York, to help feed hungry families.
Via a new campaign called "We Need 81 From Everyone", named after the number on his Bills jersey, T.O. is asking people to donate 81 cents to the organization.
In a 30 sec ad spot, Owens says he and the Food Bank have a goal of providing 700,000 meals to hungry people.
"If everyone -- you too -- gives just 81 cents, we can help the Food Bank of Western New York provide nearly 700,000 meals a month for one year. Your 81 can change this world," T.O. exclaims.
According to the organization's website, 40,000 children and 100,000 people are hungry today in western New York.
So, if interested, people are urged to donate online, at 81TacklesHunger.com, or when locals checkout at Tops Friendly Markets from September 6 - 26.

This may be the single most powerful, compelling, dramatic and inspiring television commercial I've ever seen. It's truly amazing.
