No Kid Hungry Campaign

Just on the news the other night was an eye opening story on the prevalence of poverty right in our own country. I know you have seen stories like this one and also probably know someone who is in need right next door to you.  The statistic that stuck in my mind the most and brought tears to my eyes was the fact that 1 in every 4 children go hungry every day in the United States.

There is no excuse for hunger in this country. Please visit Share Our Strength or No Kid Hungry .org below to take the pledge and offer help in some way if you can.

About No Kid Hungry:
No Kid Hungry™, an unprecedented, five-year effort designed to end childhood hunger in America. Our nation has the food and programs in place to end childhood hunger, but consider what we are up against: The stigmas and embarrassment that surround hunger, the challenges presented by access to healthy food, and the struggle to connect children with the resources they need to thrive. For 25 years, Share Our Strength has been confronting hunger head-on to break down these barriers. Together, with your support, we can put an end to childhood hunger. Will you join us in the No Kid Hungry campaign?






Warm regards and love -
