One in five children in the United States do not get the food they need to thrive.  Three out of four teachers say their students regularly come to school hungry. Sixteen million kids in the US struggle with hunger.  Nearly half of SNAP recipients are children.

Share Our Strength began in the basement of a row house on Capitol Hill in 1984, in response to the ‘84-‘85 famine in Ethiopia. Brother and sister Bill and Debbie Shore started the organization with the belief that everyone has a strength to share in the global fight against hunger and poverty, and that in these shared strengths lie sustainable solutions. Today we focus these strengths on making No Kid Hungry a reality in America.
