Childhood hunger is down by one-third
since we began the No Kid Hungry campaign – more kids are getting the school
meals they need than ever before – and we are well on our way to achieving our
ambitious goal. At a time when Americans are desperate for evidence that our
problems can be solved, we have forged the bipartisan public-private
partnerships to solve this one. But still, too many kids in this country are
struggling with hunger. I’m so grateful that we can count on you to help get us
across the finish line.
I hope you will take some joy this holiday
season, as I do, from the words of 4th grade teacher Angela Homan who said of
our signature program: “Breakfast After the Bell changed the environment of my
classroom. My students begin their days ready to learn which is a dream come
true for me.” Or of single mom Heidi Alphen who said of our nutrition education
efforts: “Cooking Matters gave me my confidence back when I was at the lowest
point in my life. It encouraged me to go back to work in the food industry,
which in turn provided myself and my family with so many opportunities.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart for making a difference in my life.”
Wishing you and your family all the best.
Thanks again and have a happy and healthy holiday.
