MONTANA — This summer, the No Kid Hungry Montana campaign moved to MFBN. The campaign will focus on ending child hunger in Montana and is a collaboration between MFBN and Share Our Strength, a national nonprofit working to ensure all children and families live without hunger and poverty. No Kid Hungry is a national campaign run by Share Our Strength. Since No Kid Hungry launched in Montana in 2012, its goals have been to improve access to nutrition programs that connect kids to healthy food where they live, learn, and play to end child hunger. With 1 in 8 children in Montana living in food-insecure households, MFBN shares the same passion reflected through No Kid Hungry Montana and is excited about the opportunity to combine strategies and efforts to end childhood food insecurity and make No Kid Hungry a reality.
“The No Kid Hungry Campaign is thrilled to partner with Montana Food Bank Network (MFBN),” said Lisa Davis, Share Our Strength. “Child hunger is a solvable problem and with MFBN’s innovative and effective leadership we can ensure all children in Montana have the nutrition they need to grow up healthy and strong.”
“Montana Food Bank Network is honored to be a part of the No Kid Hungry campaign as we work to end childhood hunger across our state,” said Lorianne Burhop of MFBN. “We look forward to strengthening current partnerships while building new collaborations across Montana, to ensure every child has the food they need to reach their full potential.”
