Thanks to generous donors like you, the No Kid Hungry campaign helped millions of children get the nutritious food they needed, so they can dream big and reach their full potential.
In addition to helping more kids start the school day energized with a healthy breakfast, your continued support furthered our advocacy efforts, so nearly 21 million children could receive $2.5 billion in summer grocery benefits. You also helped us invest over $8.4 million to connect families to nutrition benefits with our partner the American Public Human Services Association.
With your help, we also provided more school districts and community organizations with financial resources to purchase much needed equipment, as well as the knowledge and expertise to deliver vital meals programs in unique ways. Because of your generosity, we ensured that all children, no matter their zip code, had three healthy meals a day.
“To all the generous people that donate funds to help feed students, I want to say, thank you. You are angels to these children, and you may never hear their story or know the impact that you made, but you are making a tremendous impact in these students’ lives.” — Kim Thomasson, Principal, Belle Glade, FL
Here are some of the ways you helped No Kid Hungry fill plates for kids across America in 2024.
Investing in Kids and Fueling Kids' Futures
This past year, we granted nearly $18 million to school districts, community groups, and other organizations working to help kids. This included funding summer feeding programs in rural communities and helping states launch a new summer grocery benefit program.
During the school year, No Kid Hungry grantees served more than 374 million meals to kids and families.
Assistance Programs for Families
Your support helped us invest over $8.4 million to connect families to nutrition benefits like SNAP and WIC with our partner the American Public Human Services Association.
Helping Moms, Means Helping Kids
You helped us work with and support organizations helping single moms achieve economic mobility. Due to our efforts to increase Child Tax Credit support, families across the nation will receive over $1.4 billion in new and expanded state CTC benefits.
Your Support Matters
Every kid needs three meals a day to grow up healthy, happy and strong, but 1 in 5 children still faces hunger. Childhood hunger is a solvable problem, but it’s going to take all of us to make No Kid Hungry a reality.
