According to Share Our Strength, No Kid Hungry and its partners have connected children struggling with hunger with more than 107 million meals since the initiative began in 2006. In Los Angeles, No Kid Hungry partnered with the Mayor’s office and key organizations to support the implementation of breakfast in the classroom in every school in the Los Angeles Unified School District.
