Priorities
No Kid Hungry is committed to addressing the systemic and structural health, social, and economic inequities that disproportionately impact historically under-resourced communities. No Kid Hungry will prioritize funding school districts impacting the following communities:
- Communities where 50% or more of the population identifies as Black, Latino, Indigenous Peoples, Asian, Hawaiian Native or Pacific Islander.
- Rural and urban communities where schools/school districts face unique challenges in addressing hunger.
- Communities experiencing extreme economic hardship, determined through multiple data points.
- Communities where members experience intersecting social and environmental inequities.
Funds will be prioritized to support school districts applications with a strong and sustainable plan for maximizing participation in the child nutrition programs and/or increasing federal nutrition program enrollment. Share their Strength’s goal is to support school districts in increasing school meal access and realizing breakfast and lunch participation that matches or exceeds pre-Covid-19 participation
