"You're mostly thinking about food because all you want to do is eat, get rid of the hunger feeling. You can't really do your work. " - Eddy, age 14
Raise your hand if you’ve kept every New Year’s resolution you’ve ever made.
If your hand is up you’re one in a million.
So here’s one easy-to-keep resolution that’ll make you feel good every single day. Become a monthly donor to the No Kid Hungry campaign.
Millions of children in the United States don't know where their next meal is coming from. Through No Kid Hungry and our local partners across the country, you can change that.
When we know we can count on your support, month after month, we're better able to plan for future -- and provide more meals for kids.
"We have been retired now for almost 15 years from our small carpet cleaning business," writes Peter, a monthly No Kid Hungry donor from Naples, Fla. "We are certainly not wealthy. We must carefully choose where and how we spend our limited savings."
"We feel so strongly about the necessity of doing our very small part to ensure no child goes hungry that contributing on a monthly basis to No Kid Hungry is absolutely at the top of our list of 'must-do's'.”
With your monthly support, No Kid Hungry can continue our work to make sure every kid gets three meals a day through effective food programs -– at school and elsewhere.
Here's top items on our list to get done this year:
- There are 3 million kids who need a free breakfast at school, but aren’t getting it. Over the next five years, we will cut this gap in half, through direct support, advocacy and staff on the ground.
- We’ll continue our efforts to feed kids year-round, including afterschool meals programs and free meals served during the summer at neighborhood sites.
- We’ll expand our work to reach children too young to attend school, as well as children in isolated rural and Native American communities.
- We’ll work with local and national partners to improve the quality of school meals.
Those are big jobs, but but with your support, it's all possible. Become a monthly donor to No Kid Hungry today.
