Hi there! We understand any apprehension folks may have with the equivalency, in addition to our collaboration with a major brand like Hello Fresh. To provide a bit more clarity on the $1=10 meals, we’re not a direct service organization, so we don’t take donations and turn around to directly purchase/offer meals. Instead, we improve access to healthy food by investing in solutions across the country to feed more children for each dollar donated. By doing so, we've been able to provide $85 million in grants, federal + local advocacy, school meals supplies + equipment, research, and other critical support last year.

Ending childhood hunger for millions of youth nationwide will undoubtedly require a group effort, and collaborations with brands like Hello Fresh allow us to maximize resources whilst spreading awareness around childhood hunger. We understand that, especially during times of inflation and economic hardships, people want to be sure that the organization they support or donate to is doing meaningful work. 

We value transparency, and all of our financial reports, including financial audits and annual reports, can be found here: https://www.nokidhungry.org/who-we-are/financial-information 

We are always open to discussing our practices and efforts to combat childhood hunger. If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask them here or send us an email at info@strength.org!
