Always in awe of the incredible work and shared passion our partners have to end #ChildhoodHunger. 🧡 Congrats to this year's Share Our Strength #NoKidHungry #Summer #HungerHeroes. 👏 These folks are trusted voices in our communities and make such a difference as we work to #EndSummerHunger together. 🤝

Did you know there is a new Summer EBT program and where to find food this summer for your kids! So glad to join our Kellanova partners at Share Our Strength No Kid Hungry with Greater Chicago Food Depository to pass out this important information to hundreds of families through the local Boys and Girls Clubs and Special Olympics events today. All of these kids are local so it was a great way to get the right information to everyone! If you want to spread awareness locally, grab information from https://lnkd.in/guchKE_B #lifeatk

When the lunch bell rings, it's more than just a break for some kids, it's a chance for a nutritious meal they might not get at home No Kid Hungry works to ensure all kids get three meals a day, every day, no matter where they live. With the help of Albertsons Companies #NourishingNeighbors community and #OOrganics, we are celebrating the incredible progress that has been made toward getting nutritious meals to kids before and after the bell. Just last year alone, No Kid Hungry’s local partners helped serve more than 504 million healthy meals to kids and families. Since March 2020, No Kid Hungry grantees have reported serving more than 3 million meals. This is possible due to the incredible support of partners like Albertsons, Safeway, ACME, and Shaw’s. It takes more than food to end hunger. That’s why we are proud to be a Nourishing Neighbor and have partners like O Organics and Albertsons Companies who know the importance of raising awareness for childhood hunger and championing this important work together.

Cheers to our Summer Hunger Heroes! Their relentless efforts of compassion, innovation, and unwavering commitment are moving the needle toward our goal to #EndSummerHunger! 🌟👏 Read more about the 2024 Summer Hunger Heroes who are making such a difference to kids in their communities at bit.ly/4cFXac3 #NoKidHungry

New Summer Hunger research commissioned by HelloFresh as part of its “13 for 13 Million” campaign in partnership with #NoKidHungry found that 41 percent of parents struggle in some way to provide food for their household when kids are out of school. We joined our friends at HelloFresh and spoke to Newsweek about the findings and the importance of the new summer programs available to help support kids and families. "We want to make sure they're having this nutritious food year-round. Putting attention on summer when it's already a difficulty for families is what's going to change the narrative and change the future for these children."

Summer can be the hungriest time of the year for kids in the United States. Throughout the school year, and during the summer months, #NoKidHungry works hard to ensure kids have access to healthy meals that help them thrive. We’re thankful for partners, like the Arby's Foundation, who are matching donations up to $250K in support of our mission to #EndSummerHunger! Together, we can make #NoKidHungry a reality. 🤝🌟

Today we reflect on the significance of #Juneteenth, not just as a celebration but also as a reminder of our past and motivation to fight systemic prejudice for a brighter future for our youths. Let's commemorate this holiday and stand together in the fight against injustice. 🧡

Ending childhood hunger is going to take all of us, which is why I’m particularly proud of this campaign led by Albertsons Companies Foundation and members of the anti-hunger community to ensure the new Summer EBT benefit reaches all eligible children. After years of advocacy by No Kid Hungry and members of this coalition, eligible families can now receive $120 per school-age child to help with the costs of groceries during the summer break. This benefit will work alongside other summer meal programs to help #EndSummerHunger. Special thanks to Christy Duncan Anderson for leading this effort and to our peers for a wonderful collaboration. It’s been our pleasure to work so closely with many committed colleagues in this space to bring this campaign to life!
