While schools are shut down across the state, school nutrition staff haven’t stopped working to feed kids in their districts. These staff members are on the front lines of our state’s COVID-19 response efforts, and are invaluable supports in keeping kids healthy and fed during this pandemic. No Kid Hungry Ohio invite you to recognize these Hunger Heroes throughout the month of May to thank them for all they do to help kids and families. We encourage you to use the sample social media posts and images below on your social channels. We have also put together a short script for a video message thanking these Hunger Heroes.
