Share Our Strength
The Young Scientist Foundation actively supports Share Our Strength®, a nonprofit organization working to end childhood hunger in the United States by 2015. Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign, connects children and their families with the nutritious food they need to lead healthy, active lives. In addition to traveling for and speaking on behalf of Share Our Strength, The Young Scientist Foundation and its members participate in Taste of the Nation events in New York City, and around the country.
Share Our Strength has four goals:- To create public-private partnerships at the state and city level that map out comprehensive, measurable plans to end childhood hunger in those areas
- To build public awareness about childhood hunger, and to find solutions to end it
- To provide grants to organizations that improve access to nutritious food, and educate families about such programs
- To educate children and families about nutritious, affordable food
We measure our progress by measuring participation in effective, existing programs that provide nutritious food to children at home (SNAP, or food stamps, WIC, and nutrition education), during school (breakfast and lunch, and through nutrition education) and when school is out (afterschool snacks and summer meals).
