Join the Fight Against Childhood Hunger

More than 17 million kids in the U.S. are at risk of hunger. That's nearly 1 in 4. We're partnering with Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry® Campaign to end childhood hunger in America.

No Kid Hungry Campaign

The No Kid Hungry Campaign supports local youth organizations, schools, faith-based institutions, food banks and other community programs in providing meals to needy children. With our donations, they can help local groups feed even more hungry kids.

No Kid Hungry creates partnerships with anti-hunger groups, government agencies, corporate partners, and political, education and business leaders at the state and city level to break down barriers to accessing healthy food.

The campaign goals include:

• Improving access to breakfast, after-school and summer meal programs
• Helping eligible families access SNAP (formerly food stamps) and other federal programs
• Educating families about nutritious, affordable eating and cooking
