Our Partners
Schools Serve is supported by a coalition of leading education, hunger and service learning organizations – all with a shared passion for activating our schools, inspiring our schools’ students and creating change. With an unmatched ability to activate 83,000 PTO and PTA groups at schools nationwide, Schools Serve, working together with our partners’ support, will be able to bring together America’s schools to take on childhood hunger in our local communities and bring hundreds of millions of pounds of food to the hungry.
National Presenting Sponsor:
The ConAgra Foods® Foundation is leading the charge to raise awareness of the more than 12 million children in America who are at risk of hunger and to do something about it. The Foundation pursues sustainable solutions to end child hunger and teach kids about nutrition so that children can get the nourishment they need today to flourish tomorrow.
Through the Nourish Today, Flourish Tomorrow community involvement platform, the Foundation is committed to building a community of people who are passionate about ending child hunger and teaching kids and families about nutrition. We work to ensure kids have access to the food and facts they need to eat nutritiously, live balanced lifestyles and succeed in school and life. We accomplish our goal by investing in national and local partnerships with high-impact, not-for-profit organizations, such as Feeding America® and Share Our Strength®, which take an innovative approach to addressing needs in the core areas of hunger and nutrition education.
