Share Our Strength's Childhood Hunger Strategy
IN THE WORLD'S WEALTHIEST NATION, NO CHILD SHOULD GROW UP HUNGRY.
By the end of the year, more than 12 million children in America will worry about
when their next meal will come. That's one in six who are at risk of hunger, and who
have limited or uncertain access to the nutritious foods they need to develop to their full potential.
Despite its devastating and highly visible consequences, childhood hunger is
invisible. You can't see it just by looking, and you can't measure it in pounds, but it
is among us: It affects black, white, Asian and Hispanic, short and tall, thin and
chubby.
How We Share Our Strength
Since 1988, Taste of the Nation has raised more than $70 million. Funds from Taste
of the Nation are directly invested in the most successful organizations committed to
ending childhood hunger in America. Working with state and local organizations
across America, we implement our national childhood hunger strategy as well as its
supporting 10-point plan.
Please visit http://taste.strength.org and buy a ticket to this great event. I will see
you there!
