Childhood Hunger

$3mm ConAgra Grant to Double Operation Frontline ConAgra Foods Foundation is now the national sponsor of Share Our Strength’s Operation Frontline. Within days of receiving the Foundation’s support, two new Operation Frontline program partners — The Queens Galley in New York’s Hudson Valley and Inter-Faith Food Shuttle in Raleigh, N.C.— held their first classes. Now that’s impact!
The two-year partnership between Share Our Strength and the ConAgra Foods Foundation will nearly double Operation Frontline’s capacity to teach low-income families how to prepare nutritious and tasty foods on a limited budget. This grant will allow Operation Frontline to launch programs in nine additional locations (for a total of 25) and increase the capacity of existing program partners through stronger course materials and support.
The Foundation selected Share Our Strength’s Operation Frontline to receive the $3 million grant because it matches so well the goals of the Foundation’s new initiative, “Nourish Today, Flourish Tomorrow,” which seeks to end child hunger and promote nutrition education programs and services.
There will be much more to report over the coming months. And, if one of the new programs is in your community, they’d love you to get involved as a volunteer.
