With 98% of Californians Under Stay Home Order, No Kid Hungry Gives More Than $4.1 Million in Grants to Feed Families Affected by COVID-19 Pandemic <\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Pasadena, Calif.<\/strong> <\/span>\u2013 With COVID-19 cases and hospitalizations on the rise statewide and some 6 million public school students learning remotely, No Kid Hungry California today announced another $1.91 million in grants to schools and nonprofits feeding families during the crisis. Since the beginning of the school year, No Kid Hungry California has provided a total of $4.1 million in grants to help ensure all children in California can continue to get the food they need even as they learn at home.<\/span><\/p>\n

“COVID-19 has affected every Californian in one way or another, but especially those in low-income and other underserved communities. Many families are experiencing food insecurity due to lost jobs and wages, and millions of people are facing the hungriest holiday season in memory,” said No Kid Hungry California Director Kathy Saile. \u201cDuring these challenging times, we are proud to continue standing beside these families and the organizations that are supporting them during the pandemic.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Today’s announcement includes an additional 28 grants totaling $1,911,075 to nonprofits and schools that are working to provide children across the state with nutritious meals during this crisis. Grants will help increase food access, including by helping organizations deliver meals to essential workers and families who have COVID-19 positive cases at home. Many of the grantees will also use the funds to purchase equipment to support current curbside meal service and to provide additional weekend and holiday meals.<\/span><\/p>\n

    Seventeen million kids could face hunger this year as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, including more than 2.2 million right here in California. In response, No Kid Hungry is among the many organizations advocating for a temporary increase in CalFresh benefits through a federal stimulus bill.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
