Hunger hurts our nation's kids, which is why the mission of No Kid Hungry is to put an end to childhood hunger in the US for good. The believe that No Kid Hungry starts with breakfast and their vision is coming to life in schools all over the country. But more need to join to help grow the momentum of this movement connecting hungry kids to meals, especially school breakfast, in every state.
With your help, we can advocate for breakthrough policy changes that have increased the number of kids starting the day with school breakfast. Across the nation, we're seeing results, and other states and cities are following their lead.
Just look at these recent wins in the movement to end childhood hunger:
•More than 900 schools took part in the North Carolina's first breakfast challenge to encourage schools to serve more kids breakfast.
•In New Mexico, recently passed legislation will ensure that kids of all ages across the state can count on a free, healthy breakfast as part of the school day.
•New Orleans has become one of an elite group of U.S. cities to reach the ambitious goals for breakfast participation.
•Recently introduced legislation in Nebraska could make a healthy breakfast after the bell a reality for children across the state.
•Vermont will become the first state to offer free breakfast and lunch to all students.
There is more work to be done, which is why it's a great time to join the monthly giving club, The Hunger Core, with a gift of $10 per month.
Every dollar you give can provide up to 10 meals — so $10 a month means up to 1,200 meals a year.
Monthly giving is safe, easy and economical. Your credit card will be automatically debited for any amount you choose — and you can change the amount or cancel at any time.
CLICK HERE to become a Hunger Core member today and help us feed even more kids in the year ahead. I'm grateful for your support of No Kid Hungry.
