Friend, Now that you’re a part of Team No Kid Hungry, we wanted to bring you up to speed on this hidden – yet solvable – crisis.
|

|
|

Lily is one of those kids. Here’s what hunger looks like for her:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lily’s mom works overtime each day.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yet she still can't provide her daughter with enough nutritious meals.
|
|
|
|
|
|
This makes it harder for Lily to focus in school and get the healthy meals she needs in the summer.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Hunger is a problem that affects all of us.
|
|
|
|
Without proper nutrition, kids are more susceptible to obesity and disease.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Many are held back in school – and some never graduate high school.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Billions of tax dollars are spent each year dealing with the side effects of hunger.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Luckily, this is a solvable crisis – one that we are tackling.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
There is plenty of food to go around. No Kid Hungry breaks down the barriers that keep children from accessing it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So how does our No Kid Hungry strategy help kids like Lily? It ensures she gets healthy food EVERY DAY. Here’s how:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lily receives a free breakfast at school each morning, helping her focus in class.
|
|
|
|
|
|
When school is out, she gets access to a free summer meals program.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Lily’s mom learns to cook nutritious meals on a budget.
