Dollar Tree and Family Dollar are proud to announce its new
partnership with No Kid Hungry, a national campaign led by Share
Our Strength, which is committed to ending childhood hunger and
poverty. With a shared mission of ensuring equitable access to food
and essential resources, the partnership aims to make an impact
across the country by helping schools and communities feed millions
of children every day.
To support this work, Dollar Tree and Family Dollar will make an
initial donation of $350,000 to No Kid Hungry, which can help
provide 3.5 million meals* to children, and drive awareness through
an integrated in-store and online campaign. This holiday season,
Coca-Cola is joining our effort to support No Kid Hungry with an
additional $100,000 donation to help provide 1 million meals to
children.
“We are privileged to work with Share our Strength and the No
Kid Hungry campaign in their critical work to solve childhood
hunger and poverty in the United States,” said Jennifer Silberman,
Chief Sustainability and Impact Officer, Dollar Tree, Inc. “For
nearly 15 years, No Kid Hungry has been at the forefront of
reversing the growing trend of food insecurity and childhood hunger
to help ensure every child has access to the food they need for a
happy and healthy future. By ensuring all kids get three meals a
day and by helping families access critical programs such as Summer
EBT and SNAP benefits, we can end childhood hunger in the United
States.”
“We are so grateful to be partnering with Dollar Tree and Family
Dollar. They are stepping up to help ensure no child experiences
hunger,” said Allison Shuffield, Managing Director, Corporate
Partnerships, Share Our Strength’s No Kid Hungry campaign.
“Together we can ensure a future where every child has three
healthy meals a day, every day.”
As part of our partnership, Dollar Tree and Family Dollar are
also supporting the Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger. This
nonpartisan coalition of mayors is working alongside No Kid Hungry
to end childhood hunger and address food insecurity in cities
across the nation. Through a combination of advocacy and community
partnerships, the Mayors Alliance harnesses the individual and
collective leadership of more than 445 mayors to drive action to
end childhood hunger across the country.
