Thirteen million kids in the U.S. are living with hunger, but No Kid Hungry is changing that by working with schools and communities across the country to make sure they have the technical assistance, funds and resources they need to feed as many students as possible through school meal programs like breakfast, lunch and afterschool meals. Last school year, No Kid Hungry's partners served more than 504 million healthy meals to kids and families nationwide.

"For millions of kids across the country, the new school year means more than just new pencils and notebooks, it means children can rely on starting the day with the food they need to thrive through critical programs like school breakfast," said Allison Shuffield, managing director of corporate partnerships at Share Our Strength, the organization behind the No Kid Hungry campaign. "That's why we have so much gratitude to our partners and their customers for helping us raise the necessary funds to support and expand the school meal programs so many families and kids rely on."

No Kid Hungry is proud to work with 25 participating brands to ensure all kids have access to the most important school supply this school year and every day, including: Citi, The Arby's Foundation, Del Taco, Denny's, Jack in the Box, and Tropical Smoothie Cafe.
