Share Our Strength Signs Memorandum of Understanding with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Share Our Strength officially entered a three-year partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on July 24th in Atlanta by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU).
Share Our Strength is the first anti-hunger organization to establish such a relationship with the CDC. The MOU outlines the two organizations’ mutual intent to work together to develop and improve health outcomes for the over 12 million American children at risk of hunger, address childhood obesity and hunger particularly among low-income families, and attend to disparities in nutrition and obesity prevention and control.
Share Our Strength executives represented the organization at the signing, which took place during an internal meeting of the CDC’s Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity. There, along with the CDC Director of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity, Dr. William Dietz, they discussed their interest to increase the availability of high-quality, nutritious, and satisfying food for all children in low-income communities.
