Share Our Strength & FCCLA Join to end childhood hunger in America!
This year 1 in 5 kids in America will struggle with hunger but YOU can help. If every FCCLA student raises just $1, FCCLA can connect children across America with over 2 million meals!
Learn about childhood hunger in your state and how to get involved. We’ve got lots of resources to help you learn more about the issue of childhood hunger and help make your fundraising activities a huge success.
Register to raise funds for No Kid Hungry. Chapters only need to register once. If you registered last year you are good to go! Only registered chapters will be eligible for incentives prizes and recognition at Nationals.
Already raised funds for No Kid Hungry? Share your story and photos by emailing fccla@strength.org . We are always looking for great stories to feature at the National Leadership Conference.
No Kid Hungry
A great first step to helping to end childhood hunger is to take the No Kid Hungry Pledge. By taking the pledge, you are adding your voice to the movement of people committed to ending childhood hunger in America.
Get involved. Get others involved.
Take the No Kid Hungry Pledge
I believe that no child in America should go hungry. By pledging today, I add my voice to the national movement of people committed to ending childhood hunger in America by 2015.
HUNGER AFFECTS 16.2 MILLION AMERICAN KIDS – THAT’S 1 IN 5 – BUT YOU CAN HELP!
