Denny’s Teams Up With Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry Campaign
As Moms, we want to give our children everything. But right now, in this country, there are mothers struggling to provide their children with even the basics of survival – food. How heartbroken would you be if- for whatever the reason- you couldn’t feed your child? How would you respond to: “Mommy, I’m hungry.”
Did you know that 16 million American children struggle with hunger? Neither did I. Through my partnership with Denny’s as one of their blog ambassadors, Denny’s made me aware of this nationwide epidemic and Denny’s commitment to help end childhood hunger. In Florida, 1 in 4 kids struggle with hunger. Please take just a minute to watch this powerful video explain how hunger affects children in school:
One primary mission that No Kid Hungry aims for is to provide school children with a wholesome breakfast every school day morning. A healthy breakfast can jumpstart the day, as studies have shown that kids who eat school breakfast are more apt to attend class, perform better on standardized tests and, as a result, are 20 percent more likely to graduate high school.
After learning about the commitment Denny’s had towards No Kid Hungry’s mission, I needed to know, and hope you are asking as well: How can I Help? What can I do to help end childhood hunger?
