Understanding Childhood Hunger

Every Child Deserves To Thrive

Hungry children cannot thrive. Yet millions of kids in America are at risk of going hungry. Share Our Strength is changing that.

It doesn’t have to be this way. There is plenty of nutritious food in America to make sure every child grows up healthy and thrives. What’s missing is access to this food. If families don’t have reliable access to healthy, affordable food, they can’t possibly feed their children well.

Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry® strategy provides that access to families all across the nation, so that every child, regardless of circumstances, can get the healthy food they need to thrive.
