Childhood Hunger
Share Our Strength Helps Ensure No Child Need Go Hungry
100% of funds you raise help feed kids.
Why should you get involved with Share Our Strength?
Share Our Strength’s national strategy, Operation No Kid Hungry™, is a state by state plan working to end childhood hunger by 2015. The plan has already been implemented in four states—Florida, District of Columbia, Maryland and Washington. This national plan will help:
- Improve economic security for families in communities across the United States
- Provide better nutrition education programs for low-income families, teaching them how to create nutritious meals on limited budgets
- Enroll eligible residents for state funded programs that fight hunger: federal nutrition assistance programs, free and reduced school breakfast and lunch, and after-school and summer feeding programs
- Fund private food and nutrition providers that serve families who do not have enough food
Why should you host a Great American Bake Sale?
- 100% of funds you raise help feed kids.
- Funds you raise from your local bake sale stay local, supporting after-school and summer feeding programs in your community—food programs that hundreds and thousands of kids depend on.
- It’s a fun solution with a large impact.
- You can host bake sale based on your schedule and in your community. You don’t have to train for six months to run a marathon or make a large donation to make a huge difference.
