NO KID HUNGRY 2017 SHARE OUR STRENGTH’S ANNUAL REPORT Dear Friends:
As a multitude of concerns crowd our national stage, finding common ground can seem impossible. It can be easy to miss the voices of those who need our help the most. Yet our experience this year reminded us again that listening can be the dynamic act that sparks change. Timeless values continue to unite us all.
Ensuring that all children have a life free of hunger is one of those values.
This year we heard from teachers, principals, governors, and kids about how high the stakes are for all of us when our kids go hungry—and how important it is to make No Kid Hungry a reality. The repercussions of childhood hunger are profound and long-lasting, but access to food changes everything. Food not only feeds young minds and bodies, it tells children that we care about them and their futures.
Mary Ann Gibson, a 4th grade teacher from Dallas, told us that since moving breakfast into the classroom, “I have seen a tremendous growth in children being alert, happy, not visiting the clinic as much, and ready to learn since our school has participated in the program. This breakfast ensures my students a good start to the day.”
It takes a combination of strategies to end hunger for kids. Ours includes everything from training school leaders on new ways to serve school breakfast and helping community centers open new summer meals sites to convincing governors to make legislative changes. Change is happening. Today, 1/3 fewer children face hunger.
With your help, we’ve been able to unite Americans around our single, bold vision — that we can make childhood hunger a thing of the past. Thank you for lending your voice and your strengths to making life better for hungry children. With your continued support we are that much closer to making No Kid Hungry a reality for all.

Bristol, Virginia is a community facing hard times. The economy used to rely on textiles, manufacturing, steel, coal and tobacco. It’s been losing jobs in those industries to global competition. It was once the hub for transporting Appalachia’s coal to every corner of country, and the coal industry’s decline has hit the city hard.
Principal Pam Davis has turned her school, Schools launched AFTERSCHOOL Highland View Elementary, into a beacon of hope Kids eat BREAKFAST MEALS PROGRAMS to make sure for the Bristol community. Working with No Kid DURING THE SCHOOL DAY no child suffers in a home with Hungry, her school surrounds kids with food. so they are ready to learn. empty cupboards. Students eat breakfast, lunch and have a meal before they head home for the day. On Fridays, students leave school with food for the weekend. Pam knows that she can’t educate her kids until they have the nourishment they need. WE’RE ENDING CHILDHOOD HUNGER. YOUR SUPPORT TRANSFORMS A CHILD’S FUTURE. “THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN DO INSIDE THE FOUR WALLS OF OUR SCHOOL UNTIL THESE CHILDREN’S BASIC NEEDS ARE MET.” SUMMER MEALS SITES are now open Parents learned how to in neighborhoods where summer was purchase and prepare HEALTHY FOOD “There is nothing we can do inside the four walls once a season of hunger for kids. ON A BUDGET. of our school until these children’s basic needs are met,” she explains. “The brain will purge everything. As educators, we have to ask ourselves, what can we do to help our families support and lift up their children? These families are struggling and the children need to know their basic needs are a top priority for all of us. The meals at school provide stability, comfort, reduce anxiety and stress, and get them ready to learn. We hug them, we welcome them and we feed them. Only then can we really teach them.”

12 13 SCHOOLS WHERE DO KIDS SPEND MOST OF THEIR DAY? ARE THE AT SCHOOL.
Schools are trusted by parents as safe and ANSWER nurturing environments for educating their children. For low-income families, schools are so much more. They play a vital role in supporting community life by hosting food pantries and mobile libraries, providing job training for teens and parents and serving as social and cultural sites long after the school day ends. That’s why we work with schools as our closest allies to reach all kids with the nutritious meals they need. We help schools launch afterschool meals programs that feed kids before they head There are four federal food programs home for the day, eliminating the possibility that schools can offer: breakfast, lunch, that lunch will be a child’s last meal until afterschool and summer meals. Most schools school breakfast the next day. And finally, already reach every hungry kid with a free or we help them start summer meals programs. reduced-price lunch, but they can do much They offer summer meals in cafeterias, at more.
