  3. Share Our Strength • Share Our Strength®isa national nonprofit that is connecting children at risk of hunger to the nutritious food they need to lead healthy. • No Kid Hungry ®is Share Our Strength’s national campaign to end childhood hunger in America. • Dine Out For No Kid Hungry™ is a program that brings restaurants and consumers together to raise funds and awareness for the No Kid Hungry campaign each September.

  4. Childhood Hunger in America • 16 million kids in the U.S. struggle with hunger. • That’s 1 in 5 kids who cannot rely on getting the food they need every day to learn and grow. • No child should grow up hungry, especially when effective nutrition programs exist that can provide those missing meals. • No Kid Hungry connects kids in need to programs that can help but are underutilized.

  5. Your No Kid Hungry Promotion • Throughout September, each restaurant creates its own tactics for raising funds to support the No Kid Hungry campaign. • What: You decide what works best for you. • [Insert your promotion details here] • When: The month of September (or any time period therein) when Share Our Strength brings national media attention to the cause. • [Insert your promotion dates here]

  6. What Your Effort Supports • Helping more kids start the day off right by making school breakfast available. • Helping to feed more kids during the summer when school meals are not accessible. • Helping afterschool programs provide nutritious snacks and meals. • Helping more families meet their nutritional needs at home by expanding access to SNAP (food stamps) and WIC. • Teaching families how to prepare affordable, healthy and tasty food at home.
