John,
For kids who rely on free meals at school, summer is the hungriest time of year.
That’s why we work so hard to improve summer meals programs and feed more children during this critical season when they don’t have access to free meals at school.
And with the end of the school year only a few months away, we wanted to explain just some of the steps we’re taking to solve the summer hunger crisis:
- We help families buy groceries and feed their kids during the summer. Our Free Meals Finder helps parents and caregivers find neighborhood sites that provide free meals.
- We partner with celebrities like Ayesha and Stephen Curry to help spread awareness about programs to feed more children in the summer.
- We advocate to improve summer meals programs for kids, and our efforts just helped secure $29 billion in new congressional funding.
Through these initiatives and new federal programs that will expand on them, we’re going to be able to reach millions of children during the summer months and take an incredible step forward in ending the summer hunger crisis in the United States.
But, John, there is still so much work to do. Right now, we need to do everything we possibly can to help schools, community organizations and state agencies raise awareness about summer meals programs and how to implement them before the summer hunger pangs start.
So please, will you help us feed more children this summer? Give now to support No Kid Hungry, help provide more meals to hungry children and solve the summer hunger crisis for good.
Thank you for your crucial support, friend
