Food Is The Most Important School Supply
Toolkit | 2025
Every teacher in America knows that hungry kids can’t focus on their work.
That’s why food is the most important school supply.
Today, 1 in 5 children in the United States is living with hunger. But every American believes that a hungry child should be fed, whatever the circumstances.
That’s why school meals matter so much. At school, they can get a healthy breakfast, a good lunch and even a snack after the bell rings at the end of the day. This is true for all children – but especially crucial for those whose families are struggling and may not have enough to eat at home.
Thanks to our donors, supporters and corporate partners, No Kid Hungry is working with schools across the country to make sure they have what they need to feed students.
Let’s all have a great school year.
