All across America, kids are headed back to school. But millions of children in the United States are living with hunger. For these children, food is the most important school supply.<\/strong><\/span> No Kid Hungry is helping schools ensure that every kid gets the healthy food they need to thrive in and out of the classroom.<\/p>

We invite you to join No Kid Hungry to celebrate and thank school nutrition staff, teachers and the many other school employees who feed and care for our kids. Add your note of thanks HERE<\/a>.<\/p>

We also created this social media toolkit<\/a> that includes everything you need, including an incredible suite of videos showcasing how when kids get the meals they need at school, the sky’s the limit on what they can dream and accomplish. Follow along and the join the conversation using #NoKidHungry and #ThankSchoolHeroes<\/p>
