Share Our Strength's FY 2010 Expenses
We Want You To Know
Donors deserve to know how the money they give will be used. Here's what you should know about your contribution to Share Our Strength.
Our Mission
In the world's wealthiest nation, no child should grow up hungry. Over the course of a year, more than 16 million children in America cannot count on having enough nutritious food. That's one in five kids in America who struggle with hunger. Yet at Share Our Strength®, we see a future in which no child in America grows up hungry.
Our No Kid Hungry Strategy
Through the No Kid Hungry® campaign - a national effort to end childhood hunger in America by 2015 - Share Our Strength is working with governors, mayors and state, community, faith and private sector leaders across the country to connect families at risk of hunger with the programs that can help them. Our focus is on long-term change, the difference between just feeding a child today and making sure that children in the United States never go hungry again.
Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign gives more kids a healthy start to the day by supporting effective school breakfast programs; ensures kids have food at home by helping more eligible families enroll in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps) and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance for Women, Infants, and Children (WIC); keeps kids nourished outside of school hours by ensuring access to afterschool programs that provide snacks or meals; and increasing participation in summer meals programs. Another important component of the campaign is nutrition education. Share Our Strength teaches families how to cook healthy, affordable meals through Share Our Strength's Cooking Matters® program.
Our model is working.
Here are a few of our accomplishments from the past year alone.
- Thanks to the work of our No Kid Hungry partners across the nation, we significantly increased the number of meals served to kids in need during the summer when school meals are not available. In just seven of our focus states, nearly 1 million additional summer meals were served in 2011.
- We helped thousands of children start the school day ready to learn with our targeted work around school breakfast. As a result, 128 schools in just six of our No Kid Hungry states added alternative breakfast models; in Colorado alone, an additional 4 million school breakfasts could be served.
- We provided nearly $7 million in grants to programs across the country helping local organizations fight childhood hunger in their backyard.
- We expanded our life changing nutrition education course, Cooking Matters, and helped 100,000 individuals at risk of hunger get the skills they need to shop for and cook healthy meals for their families.
- We launched an interactive online "Best Practices Center," directly sharing our proven model with organizations and leaders working to end hunger in their own communities.
