There is no possible excuse for children to go hungry in this country. Yet it happens – every day in every community. Today, 1 in 5 kids in America is at risk of hunger. At the same time, many vital programs, such as SNAP, which are crucial for putting food on the tables of millions of children and families, are facing significant cuts. Thanks to Mayors’ leadership and the Mayors Alliance, we are coming together to end child hunger.
As the Mayors Alliance grows and evolves, we are excited to offer financial support to drive meaningful actions in partnership with Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign. The Mayors Alliance is pleased to announce the formation of the Mayors Alliance Action Fund to End Child Hunger (Mayors Action Fund) that will fund member Mayors to advance local actions in alignment with Share Our Strength’s program strategies to end child hunger in their local communities.
