INSIDE: Back to School Drive, taking action next month, and more | Hunger's Hope

You can help get kids the food they need to thrive

Three school girls with their arms around each other and laughing.

One in five school-age kids in the U.S. faces hunger. Paying attention in class can be really hard when you're hungry. Kids who aren't getting enough food often struggle with homework and behavior at school.

But when kids are fed, they can thrive in school and beyond. Make a gift today to our Back to School Drive and help get meals to kids and their families.

DONATE NOW

Notebooks and pencils aren't the only things needed for the school year—being able to get enough food is even more important.

That's why Feeding America's School Pantry Program has set up almost 4,000 food pantries in schools across the country. That way, kids and families can easily get fresh food without having to make the extra trip to a food pantry.

Learn more about how school pantries work and how you can get involved.

Odessa Oldham of the Food Bank of Wyoming.

This summer, community leaders gathered in Washington, D.C. for the Elevating Voices Power Summit. People with lived experience of hunger shared their stories, perspectives, and strategies to help their neighbors and communities thrive.

We sat down with Odessa Oldham of the Food Bank of Wyoming, a Feeding America network partner, to talk about what prevents people from getting enough food—and what lawmakers can do to help.
