Here in Georgia, more than 700,000 children are at risk of hunger. Hunger impairs their health and their ability to learn, and predisposes them to emotional and behavioral difficulties that can negatively affect their families and our communities for years to come.
Georgia Governor Nathan Deal, discussing his state’s fight against child hunger. 

Children explain what hunger means to them in this Share Our Strength video.

I found myself a while back trying to think of something different to do with my time…so naturally, I turned to the prospect of volunteering. How could I blend together one of my biggest passions in life (um, that would be food) with donating my time?

The answer is: Cooking Matters

We love seeing that more people are getting involved with programs like Share Our Strength’s Cooking Matters. 

Ending poverty is complicated. Feeding a child is not. We have the programs in place to feed our children. Now is the time to use them and to remove every barrier that prevents children from accessing such programs.
Billy Shore, CEO and founder of Share Our Strength, responding to the U.S. Census Bureau’s new poverty data issued on Sept. 13, 2011
