Tell Congress: Protect Federal Nutrition Programs
Members of Congress are working to reauthorize the Farm Bill, legislation that provides funding for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP).

Helping Hundreds of Thousands of Kids
Through No Kid Hungry, we are giving more kids a healthy start by supporting school breakfast programs; ensuring kids have food at home by helping more eligible families enroll in SNAP; keeping kids fed outside of school by ensuring access to afterschool and summer programs that provide snacks or meals; and teaching families how to prepare healthy, affordable meals.
Summer Success in Arkansas
This year in Arkansas, the No Kid Hungry Campaign worked to ensure more kids at risk of hunger received free summer meals. Using new outreach materials, a summer meals hotline, and local public service announcements the campaign increased the number of summer meal sites from 339 in 2010, to 440 in 2011. 211,000 more meals were served in 2011 and 14 additional counties were reached.
