A MESSAGE FROM FOUNDER AND CEO BILLY SHORE
By connecting kids in need with nutritious food and teaching their families
how to cook healthy, affordable meals, the No kid Hungry campaign
surrounds children with healthy food where they live, learn and play.
Today, one in five children in the United States doesn’t have the food
needed to grow and thrive. Together, we’re changing that.
• We’re reaching kids where they live: More than 225,000 individuals
learned to cook and shop smarter on a budget through our Cooking
matters courses, tours and educational resources.
• We’re reaching kids where they learn: Since 2011, we’ve helped connect
kids to more than 28 million additional school breakfasts.
• We’re reaching kids where they play: Since 2011 we’ve helped
connect kids to more than six million additional free meals during the
summer months.
None of this would be possible without our supporters. Thousands of people
across this country—including individual donors, policy makers, corporate
leaders, principals, parents and those running community non-profits—are
sharing their strengths every day in the fight to end childhood hunger. For
that, we are both grateful and inspired.
we know childhood hunger is a solvable problem. we’ve made great
strides in 2012, but we still have a long way to go. To achieve our bold goal
of ending childhood hunger in this nation, we need to work more closely
together than ever before. if we do, we will make No kid Hungry a reality.
Sincerely,
Founder & CEO

A s the U.S. economy slowly recovers, a record number of Americans remain on
SNAP (the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). many of these families
cannot put enough food on the table to feed their kids. And while low-income
families are cooking at home, they struggle to afford healthy meals.
in 2012, the No kid Hungry campaign released an eye-opening national survey of
low-income families, shedding light on how families at risk of hunger shop for and
cook their family dinners. It’s Dinnertime, generously supported by the ConAgra
Foods Foundation, found that:

L ow-income mothers like lareese Cathey from
Grasonville, maryland, want to provide healthy food
for their kids. lareese is a recent dental assistant program
graduate and a single mother of two who periodically relies
on SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program),
wiC and school meals to help feed her family. lareese
struggled to stretch her food dollars across a full month.
lareese signed up for No kid Hungry’s six-week Cooking
matters course. when we spoke to her months after the
course ended, she told us she was now able to stretch her
food dollars an additional two weeks, making them last the
entire month. Before the program, she would buy about two
fruit and vegetable items with her $6 wiC check. Now, after
having learned to compare the unit prices of groceries and
consider frozen and canned fruit as alternatives to fresh,
she’s able to stretch that $6 to buy two packages of frozen
fruit, two canned fruits and some applesauce.
Through Cooking matters, the No kid Hungry campaign is
helping families like lareese’s make the most of their food
budgets, helping them to end hunger at home.

I n 2012 we met the Hanno family from the Fort Carson
Army base in Colorado Springs. dad Erik, a Purple Heart
recipient, just returned from his second tour in Afghanistan.
He’s now a part-time student working on a criminal justice
degree. mom Stacy works part-time and is in night school,
training to be a nurse. They have two young girls, kailey
(age 4) and Tegan (age 1).
with both parents in school, money is tight. The family
receives wiC benefits to help get by. Stacy spends about an
hour and a half every week scanning the grocery circulars
and clipping coupons. “i shop when stuff is really cheap,”
she says. “we saved money to buy a deep freezer so that i
can store meat, my most expensive items.”
Stacy took a Cooking matters course to learn how to get
the most from her federal benefits. She now carefully plans
their grocery shopping trips with weekly coupons and
deals. She shared with us how the class taught her skills to
cook healthier meals while saving money. She explains, “i
went in there with a lot of knowledge, but i came out with a
lot as well... i think the most important thing i got out of it is
knowing the better choice.”

W hen a child is hungry, she can’t concentrate in school. Each morning,
too many of our nation’s kids are starting the school day with empty
stomachs. Share Our Strength’s 2012 survey of teachers highlighted how
hunger impedes a child’s ability to learn, revealing that 3 out of 5 k-8 public
school teachers say they regularly see students come to school hungry.

The No kid Hungry campaign is working with schools across the country
to expand access to school breakfast by moving it from the cafeteria to the
classroom, making it part of the school day.
The greatest number kids starting the day with breakfast is achieved by
implementing innovative breakfast models that serve breakfast as part of the
school day. To accomplish this, we’re partnering with school districts that have
a high percentage of students who qualify for free and reduced-price meals to
bring breakfast into the classroom.
Another successful tactic we’ve employed is pursuing school breakfast
legislation, which mandates that schools with a large percentage of low-
income students expand school breakfast. For example, in maryland, the No kid
Hungry campaign and our supporters advocated for additional state funding
for breakfast. As a result of this advocacy, increased funding, and other efforts
more than 33,000 maryland kids have been added to the school breakfast
program since 2010. in 2013, we’re pursuing breakfast legislation in a number
of states, including Colorado.

L os Angeles mayor Antonio villaraigosa, a partner
of the los Angeles No kid Hungry campaign,
announced in early 2012 that the l.A. Unified School
district would make breakfast a part of the school
day for every child so that all students could start the
day ready to learn. The los Angeles No kid Hungry
campaign and the California Food Policy Advocates
are working closely with the los Angeles Fund for
Public Education to support their work to implement
breakfast in the classroom in every school in the
district over the next three years.
this change in delivery is
expected to impact over

f or children whose families struggle to make ends meet, school meals
provide a safety net, ensuring that their kids are getting nutritious
meals each school day. But when school is out of session, in the evenings,
on weekends and especially in the summer, these kids find themselves
uncertain about where and when they’ll be able to eat.

FOOD tRUCKS WItH A MISSIONMobile meals meet kids where they are in the summer, such as parks, libraries, public pools, and housing complexes.
ELIMINAtING RED tApEwe’re working with the United States department of Agriculture to introduce administrative innovations that allow schools to serve summer meals with reduced paperwork. Our No kid Hungry campaign in North Carolina successfully piloted the program in 2012; it will expand nationally in summer 2013.
tExt tO FIND SUMMER MEALSwe introduced a “Text to Find a Summer meals Site Near you” pilot program in summer 2012. in the first year, the program received 24,000 texts nationwide requesting information. you can try it out: text FOOD to 877-877 to find a site near you.
s ummer is one of the most challenging times to ensure that kids
struggling with hunger are eating. kids are geographically scattered
in the summer and it’s difficult to reach them en masse, which presents
a major challenge for the rapid expansion of summer meals. The No kid
Hungry campaign is continually piloting new tactics that help us meet
that challenge.

despite the great strides we’ve made this year in connecting
kids with food, there’s still work to be done to make No
kid Hungry a reality. we must scale our work to reach even
more kids. we must find new solutions to difficult obstacles,
like how to best reach the highest number of kids during the
summer. And we must continue to speak up for kids without
enough food, because an America without childhood
hunger is not only possible, it’s already within our reach.
with your support, we’ll get there.
We’ll end childhood hunger in America.
A LOOK AHEAD
SHARE OUR STRENGTH 2012 | 40 FiNANCiAl OvERviEw
At Share Our Strength, we’re focused on maximizing every donation to
help the most kids possible. in fiscal year 2012, Share Our Strength had
total operating expenses (excluding in-kind and the New york City wine
& Food Festival) of $31.1 million in pursuit of ending childhood hunger
in America. Approximately 71%—$22.1 million—of these expenses were
invested in the No kid Hungry strategy to feed kids where they live,
learn and play.
These investments, which led to more than 34 million additional meals
being served and other major 2012 milestones recapped in this report,
are made possible thanks to judicious investments in fundraising, which
make up 25% of our expenses. in order to end childhood hunger in this
country, solutions need to be scaled quickly, and our investments in
fundraising reflect the urgent need to expand our work to reach as
many kids as quickly as possible.
The remaining 4% of expenses cover costs such as financial management,
human resources and technology. more information about Share Our
Strength’s financials is available at NoKidHungry.org/Financials.
* Excludes New york City wine & Food Festival proceeds. Share Our Strength consolidates the Festival’s full financials but is only a co-beneficiary of the event and has a limited role in its operations. See page 2 of Schedule O in our Form 990 for a full overview.
