A Bold Aspiration
Feeding America has a bold aspiration for our nation:
Every community and each person within it has access to the food and resources that they say they desire and need to thrive. The food insecurity rate is 5% by 2030 and disparities by race and place are cut in half.
98% of contributions go directly to programs serving people facing hunger.
Caring donor support helps the Feeding America network achieve meaningful impact.
Together, we are working alongside people facing hunger to ensure everyone in the U.S. — no matter their race, background or ZIP code — can access the food and resources they need to thrive.

Addressing the Root Causes of Hunger and Food Insecurity
Betty and
John Chenier
Opelousas, Louisiana
Black farmers often face unfair challenges, including discrimination and inequitable business practices. Betty and John Chenier plan to change that by providing fresh produce from Chenier Farms for local food distributions supported by a network food bank—an example of how we are investing in community solutions to address the root causes of hunger through the Food Security Equity Impact Fund.
People Facing Hunger are at the Center of All We Do
Elijah
San Antonio, Texas
Elijah is one of 22 million kids in the U.S. who count on school meal programs—and who run the risk of worrying when they’ll eat during summer break. Meals provided by network members give kids across the country the nourishment they need—in the classroom and at home—and it’s why we advocate to strengthen and protect federal nutrition programs to help families facing hunger.
