Teachers, challenge your students to take action against childhood hunger and enter our art and writing contest. Winning students will earn scholarships and cash for their schools by creating their own original entries.

 

 

When was the last time that one of your assignments truly had the power to change a child's life?

More than 16 million kids in the United States live in households that struggle to put food on the table. That's one out of every five kids.

Your students can make a difference! Start by talking with them about hunger and activism.

Indeed, some of your students may have experienced hunger themselves or have a personal connection to this important issue. After learning more about childhood hunger in the United States, challenge your students to respond to the following prompt:

 

Childhood hunger is an epidemic that's threatening our country's future. One in five children and teens regularly have to worry about having enough to eat. Hunger prevents kids from reaching their full potential, and it affects their learning, behavior and optimism for the future. Through writing and/or art, create an original work that addresses the problem of childhood hunger in the United States. How has hunger affected your life or the lives of other teens and children? How can you and other teens THINK BIG—beyond canned-food drives or community food pantries that feed a child for a day—to imagine solutions that could end childhood hunger in this country?
