Share Our Strength – No Kid Hungry Bake Sale 2013 – Hosted by MyDailyFindChicago.com

According to Share Our Strength one of every five children struggle with hunger.

    "Hunger prevents kids from reaching their full potential. It’s an epidemic that’s threatening America’s future.

Here are more staggering and disheartening statistics from Share Our Strength:

  • More than 16 million kids in America live in households who struggle to put food on the table
  • Nearly 22 percent of kids - under the age of 18 live in poverty
  • 9.8 million kids – more than ever – get free or reduced price school breakfast but…10.6 million eligible kids go without
  • Only 1 in 7 kids who get free or reduced price school lunches receive Summer meals
  • Nearly half of all people who use the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP or food stamps) are kids
  • 9 out of 10 teachers say that having a healthy breakfast is key to academic achievement

PLEASE JOIN US to raise money to support NO KID HUNGRY and help end childhood hunger in the United States.
