Students of all ages are getting involved with No Kid Hungry by planning fundraising and awareness events at their schools. The first step to getting your school involved is by visiting nokidhungry2.org. NoKidHungry2 is an interactive website for youth aged 5-25 who are interested in getting more involved. The site is filled with fun learning activities, fundraising ideas and more. There is even a section for teachers and parents! Use it to teach your kids about the issue of childhood hunger and the importance of helping others

Back in May we shared about our service learning project, "Coins for Kids" that benefits the No Kid Hungry program. As the students became more and more inspired to feed the hungry kids of America, they set the lofty goal of raising $1,000 with their coins. Last week the students hauled all of their money to Mission Federal Credit Union - all 80 lbs. worth - and poured it into the coin counting machine. Imagine the excitement when the grand total was listed at $1,521.86! What a sense of pride for these young people to know that it is possible to set challenging goals and not only reach them, but surpass them while having such a positive impact on other children's lives!

A class of 22 first and second graders became inspired when they learned about the enormous number of children in America who are experiencing hunger. After taking the No Kid Hungry pledge, they launched their own service learning project called "Coins for Kids." The children began bringing in their coins and they haven't stopped!
