No Child in [STATE] Should Go Hungry
At No Kid Hungry, 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. Nearly [XX]% of children in [STATE] live in food-insecure homes. 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.
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
In collaboration with our partners [add link to partners page], No Kid Hungry works to ensure all children have access to the federal nutrition programs in their communities.
Supporting Schools
We work with school districts, providing training, toolkits, and strategic grant funding to launch or enhance existing school meal programs – breakfast, lunch, afterschool, and summer meals.
Building Community Partnerships
We collaborate with community based organizations and support innovative strategies to support afterschool and summer meal programs and connect families to other critical federal nutrition programs like SNAP and WIC.
Advancing Equity
Childhood hunger is the product of longtime systemic inequities. We prioritize support to marginalized communities, seek out and share successful community based solutions, and work to address the root causes of hunger.
Advocating for Kids
We engage with elected and government officials to make sure that ending child hunger is prioritized by decision makers at all levels of government.
