No Kid Hungry is a campaign of Share Our Strength, an organization committed to ending hunger and poverty. A key part of No Kid Hungry is the strategy of building partnerships and supporting federal child nutrition programs through grantmaking. Their grants provide schools and community-based organizations with the financial support they need to ensure kids have access to the nutritious food needed to live, learn and play. Their grant funding goes to pay for everything from refrigerators to delivery trucks – whatever schools and communities need to feed kids.
Although the No Kid Hungry grants for schools and communities are rarely used to buy food, they know that running a successful meals program requires more than food. School cafeterias and community centers need equipment like refrigerators and coolers. If a school serves breakfast in the classroom, they need carts and cooler bags to deliver the meals. During the coronavirus pandemic, tens of thousands of school meals programs suddenly needed all kinds of equipment, from delivery trucks to protective gear for workers to packaging for delivery meals. These are the kinds of items No Kid Hungry helps pay for through our grants.
