Stories like Tatiana’s remind us why this work matters. 🧡 Every parent wants their child to grow up healthy, safe, and full of possibility. 💫🌟

This year for Mother’s Day, we are so grateful for all the moms and caregivers working tirelessly for their families every single day. 🌷

And we’re reminded that programs like summer meals and school nutrition are about more than food—they’re about helping children learn, grow, and reach their full potential. 🍽️🍎

Because when families are supported, kids can thrive. 🧡

What helps kids thrive? Moms already know the answer. 💛

🍽️ Easy access to healthy, affordable food
💼 More stable income
🤝 Stronger community support systems

When families have the resources they need, children are healthier, stronger, and better able to reach their full potential. 🌱✨

At No Kid Hungry, we believe ending child hunger means supporting the whole family—not just providing meals, but investing in long-term stability and opportunity.

Because when moms thrive, kids thrive. 🌷

Hunger doesn’t happen in isolation. For many moms, rising food costs, limited childcare options, and low wages create impossible choices every day.

📊 35% of low-income moms delayed paying bills like rent or utilities
🍽️ 34% skipped meals so their children could eat
💳 24% of moms took on debt just to make ends meet

No parent should have to sacrifice their own well-being to feed their children.

That’s why supporting moms matters. 💛
When families have access to affordable food, flexible childcare, and economic opportunity, kids are healthier and stronger too.

Because when moms thrive, kids thrive. 🌷

This year for Mother’s Day, we celebrated the power of moms and uplifted all they make possible for their kids. Our new research found that 1 in 5 moms are skipping meals or cutting back on food themselves so their kids can eat.

This week, we will spotlight all kinds of stories of mothers and how school meals and nutrition programs impact them.

Visit stories.nokidhungry.org/moms to read more stories of the sacrifices moms are making, and take the Because of Moms Pledge to join us as we break down the barriers for moms – and end hunger for generations.

Every great school day starts with a strong foundation. School breakfast helps ensure students begin their day fueled, focused, and ready to learn. 📚

That’s the power of being ! 💜💛

Even with strong rural summer meals programs in place, some families can still miss out. Distance, transportation, and access barriers can make it harder to reach kids in the most remote areas.

But we can go further. 💡

From using data to identify gaps to adapting delivery models like 🚗 mobile routes and 🤝 community partnerships—there are real ways to reach every child.
