No Child in Ohio Should Go Hungry.
At No Kid Hungry Ohio, we are committed to ensuring that every kid has 3 healthy meals a day, 365 days a year.
The Problem
We know hunger is a solvable problem, but every day it impacts children’s ability to learn and grow. 20% of children in Ohioare facing hunger. That phrase may sound mild, but it means that those households don’t have enough food for every family member to lead a healthy life. That’s 1 in 5 kids who may be struggling with hunger in Ohio.
We have plenty of food in the United States and federal nutrition programs that work together to provide access to meals and groceries for those facing economic hardship; the problem is that not enough kids and families are able to access them. There are large gaps in the number of kids and families that qualify for benefits and those that are receiving them.
How We Can Help
Our dedicated team is working to end child hunger throughout the State. We partner with schools, community based organizations, and government agencies to launch and enhance programs providing healthy meals and expanding access to nutritious food. In collaboration with our partners, No Kid Hungry works to ensure all children have access to the federal nutrition programs in their communities.
