"Fuel Our Kids": Fighting childhood hunger in New York City [VIDEO]

No Kid Hungry and NYC TV station PIX11 joined forces recently to take on food insecurity in the NYC public school system. The resulting "Fuel our Kids" campaign builds awareness that all 1.1 million New York City students are eligible for free breakfast and lunch. To increase the appeal of school meals, the city has revamped the menus to include more variety (cuisines from around the globe!), as well as healthier options like Meatless Monday, for all students.

This is just one example of the initiatives you're supporting to end childhood hunger once and for all. Thank you for all you do to help fuel kids throughout our nation!
