No Kid Hungry Youth Ambassadors

No child should grow up hungry in America, but one in six children struggle with hunger. That is 13 million kids. By connecting kids in need with nutritious food, the No Kid Hungry campaign surrounds children with healthy food where they live, learn and play.
We are ending childhood hunger by connecting kids to effective nutrition programs like school breakfast and summer meals. This work is accomplished through the No Kid Hungry network, made up of private citizens, public officials, nonprofits, business leaders and others providing innovative hunger solutions in their communities. This public-private partnerships work together to identify and eliminate the barriers that may prevent children from accessing existing food and nutrition resources.
