Back-to-School Hungry: Food is the Most Important School Supply

Add Passion and Stir

There are over 13 million kids heading back to school this month in the U.S. that are living with hunger. Please be inspired by two episodes from our 2022 series on Food is the Most Important School Supply. Hear directly from kids affected by hunger and teachers and school administrators witnessing hunger in the classroom, as well as changemakers from federal, state, and local government that are making sure kids get fed at school. These changemakers include:

• Dawn Amano-Ige, the First Lady of Hawaii
• Dr. Sara Bleich, Director of Nutrition Security and Health Equity at the USDA
• Dr. Miguel A. Cardona, United States Secretary of Education
• John Giles, the Mayor of Mesa, Arizona
• Jennie Gordon, the First Lady of Wyoming
• Levar Stoney, the Mayor of Richmond, Virginia, and
• Tom Vilsack, United States Secretary of Agriculture

We hope you are moved and inspired to fight childhood hunger. Go to nokidhungry.org to learn more.
