Help Hunger Heroes Feed America's Children

Become a Hunger Hero and Help Us End Child Hunger in Our Communities

Imagine a child in your neighborhood, waking up every morning not knowing if they will have enough to eat today. This is the harsh reality for 1 in 5 children across America. These children live in our towns, attend our schools, and play in our parks, yet they struggle with hunger daily. This is a crisis that affects us all, and together, we have the power to change it. Our goal is to partner with NoKidHungry.org and prove that we can all have a positive impact on the lives of these children. We are the Hunger Heroes, and our motto is simple yet powerful: "Small Acts, Big Impacts."

Our Mission: As Hunger Heroes, we are committed to eliminating child hunger across the USA. Our partnership with NoKidHungry will have a direct impact on our local schools, community centers, and food banks, supporting children and families facing food insecurity. Your donations will provide immediate relief for families and children in need.

Local Impact: We want to collaborate with local organizations to maximize your donation’s reach. Our initiatives focus on communities across the United States, ensuring that your donation directly benefits children in your area and in communities that are the most in need.

Why It Matters:
• There are over 13MM Children that are food insecure in the USA (18.5%)1
• Malnourished children are more likely to suffer from chronic health conditions such as asthma, anemia, and diabetes, leading to higher healthcare costs.2
• “Household food insecurity was related to significantly worse general health, some acute and chronic health problems, and worse health care access, including forgone care and heightened emergency department use, for children.”3
• Children in food insecure households “had rates of lifetime asthma diagnosis and depressive symptoms that were 19.1% and 27.9% higher”3
• In 2022, 29% of Black children and 26% of Latino children lived in food-insecure households, highlighting significant racial disparities in access to food.4
• Decades of housing segregation, employment discrimination, and over-policing have contributed to higher levels of food insecurity among communities of color.4

Join Us in Making a Difference: Your support will help us create waves of positive changes. When children as well-nourished, and not worried about where their next meal will come from, they perform better academically, experience improved health, and contribute to their communities.

Your Impact: Every donation, no matter the size, makes a significant difference. Here’s how your contribution will help:

• $10 provides a week of nutritious lunches for a child in need.
• $50 supplies a family with essential groceries for a month.
• $100 supports our school pantry program, offering emergency food supplies to children during weekends and holidays.

Stories of Hope: Meet Sarah, a 9-year-old from Dallas who used to struggle with hunger daily. Thanks to donors like you, Sarah now receives regular meals from our school pantry program and is thriving in her studies. Stories like Sarah’s are why we do what we do, and why your support is so crucial.

Sincerely,

The Hunger Heroes
