Helping shape children's futures

Discover how your generosity creates lasting change for children   Helping children facing hunger across the U.S. Millions of kids across the U.S. are facing hunger — especially in rural communities, where 1 in 5 children don’t have enough to eat. But the programs that keep food on their tables were halted last month. As the federal government shutdown dragged on, Save the Children rushed emergency assistance to 15 states where food insecurity is highest and resources are scarce. While the shutdown has ended, child hunger has not — so we’re urging leaders to play a strong role in ensuring no child goes hungry.
