No Kid Hungry North Carolina is a public-private coalition working so no kid in North Carolina goes hungry. By working with partners across the state, we are dedicated to ensuring every North Carolina student has access to healthy meals. Together we are ending childhood hunger in North Carolina by ensuring every child has healthy food every day.
Carolina Hunger Initiative: No Kid Hungry partners with the Carolina Hunger Initiative to support the expansion of non-congregate meal service by collaborating with state agencies and providing grants, resources, and technical assistance to summer meal sponsors.
Based in the University of North Carolina’s Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention, the Carolina Hunger Initiative focuses on innovative strategies to connect North Carolinians with healthy meals year-round.
University of North Carolina’s Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention: The UNC Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention addresses pressing health problems by collaborating with communities to conduct research, provide training, and translate research findings into policy and practice. After initially forming in 2011, No Kid Hungry NC became part of the UNC Center for Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (UNC HPDP) in 2014.
North Carolina Department of Public Instruction: As the state agency responsible for managing many of the USDA child nutrition programs operating in North Carolina — including school breakfast, school lunch, and summer meals — the NC Department of Public Instruction (NC DPI) has been an essential partner since day one of the No Kid Hungry NC campaign.
North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services: The North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services (NC DHHS) oversees North Carolina’s participation in a number of federal nutrition programs, including the At-Risk Afterschool Meals program (ARAM), which is part of the Child & Adult Care Food Program (CACFP).
