Children's Hunger Alliance reposted this
July is #NationalMakeADifferenceToAChildMonth, a great opportunity to learn how to support kids and families in our communities and beyond. We were honored to speak on this subject recently, alongside leaders from Children's Hunger Alliance, YWCA Columbus, and the Franklin County Board of Developmental Disabilities at Nationwide Children's Hospital as part of Groundwork Ohio's Roadshow Listening Tour. Each of these organizations makes an enormous difference in the lives of children every day. FR5 CEO Mario Basora and board member Commissioner Erica Crawley spoke about our collaborative efforts to help families in #FranklinCountyOhio access high-quality #childcare and #EarlyChildhoodEducation, regardless of zip code or ability to pay. In a state without universal preschool — and indeed with the nation’s lowest, most restrictive eligibility threshold for publicly funded child care — programs like #FranklinCountyRISE and K-Ready Collaborative are essential.

Hunger is closer than you think this summer. ☀️ In Ohio, about 69% of children qualify for free or reduced-price school meals*. However, many lack access to this nutrition during the summer, leaving them without adequate food. 🥣 In the Toledo area alone, 24,760 children or 25.2%* were food insecure in 2022, and incredibly, that number has only risen in 2024. 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁'𝘀 𝟭 𝗶𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝟰 𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗿𝗲𝗻. By donating to us, you provide vital nutrition to hungry children throughout Ohio through our programs and partner sites. Follow the link to donate today to give: https://lnkd.in/d73e6gD *According to statistics provided by Feeding America . . . #EndChildhoodHunger #CHAohio #causes #Ohio #nonprofit #DoGood #4Change #GiveBack #FeedKids #StrongerTogether #Charity #Community #Hunger #Toledo #Northwest #OH #FeedingAmerica #SummerHunger #Summer

CHA partnered with the Ottawa County Family Advocacy Center last week to distribute non-congregate summer meals, thanks to an $18,000 grant from No Kid Hungry / Share Our Strength. With the help of this incredible support, the center is able to provide 7 days of breakfast and 7 days of lunch to 1,300 children every week, totaling an amazing 18,200 meals weekly. Thank you to all of the hardworking volunteers, staff and organizations making distributions like this possible! . . . #EndChildhoodHunger #CHAohio #causes #Ohio #nonprofit #DoGood #4Change #GiveBack #FeedKids #StrongerTogether #Charity #Community #NKH #NoKidHungry #SummerFeeding #Summermeals #SummerNutrition #Nutrition #Support #Ottawa
