Feed the Children has a mission to provide hope and resources for kids that are deprived of essentials to survive. Food insecurity is a growing problem across our nation and the entire world. This organization has been working to address this concern for over four decades. In fact, they are one of the leading anti-hunger groups in the world.
Their goal is to create a world where every child goes to bed with a full belly. The dedicated team helps families gain stability and independence by providing the resources and food they need today.
Helping the Hungry
Across the United States, Feed the Children accepts donations of food and necessities from corporate donors and community partners to distribute to thousands of communities. They also provide school supplies and educational support to those in vulnerable areas while mobilizing resources to get recovery efforts quickly and efficiently to natural disaster areas.
Internationally they manage community development programs in nine different countries across the Caribbean, Latin America, Africa, and Asia to reduce malnutrition and hunger. Additionally, they focus on educating communities about health and promoting independence and self-reliance.
All of this work requires deep collaborative relationships with individuals, communities, and corporations. They seek to work with donors, experts, leaders, volunteers, communities, and other partners to help raise awareness about food insecurity, so that it becomes a thing of the past.
