Vision

Hunger is one of the most devastating problems facing humanity today. It claims the lives of 40,000 of our children worldwide every day and affects the physical and educational growth of one out of every six children in the United States.

• We are committed to the end of chronic and persistent hunger, both in the United States and around the world.
• We are in partnership with the growing community of organizations, families and individuals who are battling this human devastation with innovation, competence and heroic action.
• We stand at a special moment in history. Dramatic social changes around the world and in the U.S. — caused by the emergence of popular movements in local communities, rapid technological breakthroughs and driven by shared values — are almost a daily occurrence. Perhaps for the first time, our desire to end childhood hunger is converging with the opportunity to do so.
• We believe that hunger is largely a structural problem but with many young victims, and that it can be ended through a transformation of social values and changes of structures that will insure an environment for families to become self-sustaining and independent. This transformation can be achieved most powerfully through a grassroots popular movement to shift priorities within all of us - from consumers to school systems to corporations to parents to policymakers.
• Because the media is the primary tool of communication of values in the global village and especially within the U.S., individuals and organizations in the entertainment community have the opportunity to make a profound and immediate impact on U.S. culture, social values and policy. We believe that, creatively working together with them and other segments of U.S. society, we can help accelerate the dramatic changes already underway by building a popular constituency for ending childhood hunger.
• The End Hunger Network is cooperative, not competitive. We see our work as a process, a journey in which every individual who participates with us through the Network can reach out appropriately in his or her own spheres of influence to powerfully help make this world safe for our children's future.
