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.

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.

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.

conventions to raise awareness of childhood

hunger with our nation’s leaders and make sure

Jeff helped spread the No kid Hungry message to

influential policy-makers and media personalities.

“If another country were doing this to our children,

we’d be at war.”

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.
