If your school came together to help end hunger in our community, how big of a difference could you make?
Students Against Hunger is here to find out!
No child should have to worry when he or she will eat again — and no parent should have to skip meals or risk not paying a bill just to put food on the table. Unfortunately, that’s the reality for more than 560,000 people across central and eastern North Carolina right now.
Students Against Hunger was formed to help ensure no one in our community goes hungry. Each year, students, parents, and educators come together to raise awareness and encourage action in support of the 1 in 5 kids and teenagers who face food insecurity in our area. Since its inception, Students Against Hunger has provided hundreds of thousands of meals for families with the support of local schools.
