- Children who are hungry may not perform well academically.
- Children who are hungry may experience slower growth and inhibited brain development.

For every code that is put into the site from the #childhungerendshere campaign, one meal is provided to a child who needs it. So guys- this is super easy. Just go to your favorite store, buy the packages that have the Hunger Ends Here thumbtack on it- and enter the code. You get food you like, and you get to help kids. What’s easier then that? But you have to enter the codes for it to count.
Happy Shopping!

Thank you for sharing. I was unaware of the codes.
We were almost always hungry growing up. It overshadows everything in your life.
My mother works at a school cafeteria and overhears some of the children’s conversations. Some are quite sad. They come to school early for free breakfast, which I’m so happy to know our county schools have in place.
