I don't get to say the words often enough: Thank you, Lucas!

Because of you, and your commitment to making No Kid Hungry a reality, Share Our Strength is able to go state by state to identify and eliminate barriers that are keeping kids from the food they need. We already have No Kid Hungry Campaigns active in eleven states or cities, with more on the way. In fact, just this past Friday, we launched No Kid Hungry New Mexico.
In Maryland, where I lead Share Our Strength's campaign, we have a lot to celebrate. One example I want to share is at Elmwood Elementary, where they are successfully countering hunger in the classroom, and kids are getting the food they need to grow and thrive. |

And we're not just addressing their immediate needs. Through cutting-edge nutrition programs, we're fundamentally changing the way these kids perform in the classroom.
The Maryland Partnership to End Childhood Hunger is working hard to ensure that more schools across the state follow Elmwood's lead and adopt model breakfast programs. Take a minute to watch this short video and see the type of programs you are helping to support, and the difference you are making in children's lives:

Parents and educators have always said that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, and now we have more statistics--and real-life examples--to back it up.
A healthy breakfast means big improvements in school attendance, academic performance, and behavioral interaction. School meals keep children happy, healthy and ready to concentrate in the classroom.
Together, we can ensure that no child starts their school day with a tummy that's rumbling or a head that is aching because they haven't had the chance to eat breakfast.
Share our newest video with your friends and family so we can help spread the word about the importance of breakfast in the classroom:

Again, I can't stress enough what a difference your support is making.
A million thanks,
