We thank you for your support and participation in helping change the public conversation
about hunger in America and the world, and making the end of childhood hunger a national priority. Together we have done some innovative stuff that made a difference! |
One of Our Earlier Programs
1999 to 2001

The End Hunger Network, the Entertainment Industry Foundation, and the Center on Hunger & Poverty developed a national media initiative to support state-by-state action to end childhood hunger by raising awareness and mobilizing action through education, fundraising events and coalition-building. The Entertainment Industry Foundation obtained the support of Unilever Bestfoods as a founding sponsor.
The goal of HUNGER FREE AMERICA was to make ending childhood hunger a national priority, focusing on the expansion of breakfast, lunch and dinner programs in public schools, and raising necessary funds to feed at-risk families. Experts agree that hunger in America can be ended if it becomes a national priority. Our nation has the resources and the proven state and federally funded programs to end hunger. What's needed is the popular will and political leadership. Hunger Free America is now a New York-based nonprofit that works to end hunger through a combination of advocacy and direct service at the national level and within New York City, where they are based. They focus on efforts to help Americans enroll in federal food assistance programs like SNAP and WiC and operate the National Hunger Hotline on behalf of the U.S. Department of Agriculture. |
