In the United States, Feed the Children expanded its Summer Feed & Read program in 2024 to combat childhood hunger. The initiative, which took place in Oklahoma City, Memphis, and Atlanta, aimed to provide meals and essential items to children during the summer months when school meals are unavailable. The program distributed shelf-stable meal kits and partnered with local organizations, including Fulton County Schools and Americold, to reach over 1,665 students in Atlanta alone. Additionally, the nonprofit provided thousands of pounds of household essentials and personal care items, addressing the needs of families beyond just food. The collaboration with companies like StarKist and FedEx highlights the importance of corporate partnerships in tackling food insecurity. As the program continues to grow, Feed the Children aims to deepen its impact on childhood hunger in the coming years, ensuring that no child goes to bed hungry.
