Program partners use unique, proven approaches to help feed kids.
Shop LC is proud to partner with the No Kid Hungry campaign to help end childhood hunger in America. No Kid Hungry works in all fifty states to help launch and improve programs that give all kids the healthy food they need to thrive.
