No Kid Hungry

As students at the University of North Texas, we believe in the power of community, compassion, and action. We know that a brighter future begins with a nourished mind, and no child should ever have to wonder where their next meal is coming from. Yet right here in Dallas, 1 in 4 children faces food insecurity. That means too many kids in our community are struggling with hunger instead of focusing on learning, growing, and chasing their dreams.

That’s why we’ve partnered with No Child Hungry Dallas—an organization committed to ensuring no child goes to bed hungry. Through meal programs, after-school support, and community resources, they are making a real difference in the lives of children and families. But they can’t do it alone.

This is where you come in.

We’ve set a goal to raise $500 to directly fund food programs that help bridge the gap for children in Dallas. Every single dollar you give has the power to change a life:

Just imagine—your $10 donation could provide a child with a week’s worth of meals. Your $50 gift could mean a safe space after school, where kids receive not just food, but the support and encouragement they need to thrive. With every dollar, we’re fueling futures and fostering resilience in our community.

Together, we can create change.

We are UNT students, and we believe in standing up for those who need us. We believe in hope, in action, and in the incredible impact that comes from people uniting for a cause. We believe that hunger should never stand in the way of a child’s dreams.

Join us in this mission. Share a meal, change a life, and help us build a future where every child has the nourishment they need to succeed. Donate today and be a part of something bigger—because when we come together, we create a community where no child is left behind.

Thank you for your generosity, your kindness, and your commitment to a brighter, healthier future for every child.

As some of you know, helping with food insecurity is a thing for me, and this year I want to do something different. I’ll still be volunteering with Mobile Loaves & Fishes, but I also want to make a financial impact. So, I signed up for the Austin American Statesman 10K Cap, and I’m raising money for No Kid Hungry.

No Kid Hungry is an amazing non-profit that works to fight childhood hunger in the U.S. Every donation helps—whether it’s $5 or $500, it all makes a difference. Just $10 can provide 100 meals for kids in need.

I have never done a 10K before, but I am training and determined to finish. If you are able to, please support me on this run—there are a lot of kids who need a good meal. Thank you!

**Title: A Call to Action: Nourishing Our Future**

My name is Daniel Lim, and I am a dedicated full-time college student who has spent the past year balancing my studies with an intense work schedule, totaling nearly 143 hours a week just in working hours alone. My experience spans both rural and urban healthcare settings, where I work both in hospital and emergency medical services. This unique perspective has opened my eyes to a pressing issue that has only intensified in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic: food insecurity among children.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (2022), approximately 34 million people, including 9 million children, experience food insecurity in the United States. This staggering number underscores a societal challenge that has grown significantly post-pandemic, highlighting the urgent need for action. The impact of hunger reaches far beyond the dinner plate—it affects children’s physical health, cognitive development, and emotional well-being. Research indicates that children who experience hunger are more likely to struggle academically and socially (McLaughlin, J. & Bandyopadhyay, A., 2018). Every child deserves three nutritious meals a day to thrive, learn, and play without the burden of hunger weighing them down.

I want to bring awareness to this critical issue because starving children are not just statistics; they are our future leaders, innovators, and changemakers. Organizations like No Kid Hungry are tirelessly working towards ensuring that no child goes to bed hungry. Their programs provide meals to children in need, helping to bridge the gap created by food insecurity.

This year, I am launching my first fundraiser for No Kid Hungry, with the hope that this platform will amplify our collective voice in this fight. Having participated in various fundraising efforts since Hurricane Katrina, I have seen firsthand the difference that contributions can make in the lives of those affected by food scarcity. Now, with the convenience of technology at our fingertips, we can harness the power of community to bring about real change.

Imagine a world where every child has access to the meals they require for a healthy and fulfilling life. Together, we can make this vision a reality. With your support, we can contribute to the mission of No Kid Hungry and help transform our communities, ensuring no child goes hungry.

I invite you to join me in this vital cause. Every dollar counts, and your contribution can help change lives. Let’s work together to ensure a brighter future for our children—a future where hunger is no longer a barrier to success.

Hi, I chose ¨NO KID HUNGER¨I chose this organization because they help kids in hunger. I think that no kid should ever be hungry because that's a basic right we all are supposed to have. I also chose this charity because research says 13 million kids go to school hungry and return hungry. This is why I chose this organization And I hope you can help feed at least one kid.
