About Share Our Strength®

Share Our Strength (www.strength.org) is a national organization working to make sure no kid in America grows up hungry. We weave together a net of community groups, activists, and food programs to catch children at risk of hunger and surround them with nutritious food where they live, learn and play. We do this by raising funds through our culinary events and campaigns, awarding grants to hundreds of effective nonprofits, and helping a select number of these groups expand the capacity for ending childhood hunger through formalized partnerships like this one.

FRAC works with hundreds of national, state and local nonprofit organizations, public agencies, and corporations to address hunger and its root cause, poverty.
