Kids Against Hunger - Volunteers

Volunteers

While Kids Against Hunger’s main objective is to provide meals for starving children, the organization believes it is also essential to involve the local community where the meals are packaged. Whether we like it or not, we live in a culture of instant gratification. Through its volunteer-driven effort, Kids Against Hunger is able to mobilize the energy of Americans of all ages on behalf of starving children worldwide, and to satisfy their desire to be a part of something meaningful, something larger than themselves.

When volunteering at one of Kids Against Hunger’s many locations, children learn about world hunger, to look beyond themselves, and that it is possible to accomplish seemingly overwhelming tasks if they are willing to work together. At the same time, these “leaders of tomorrow” discover the importance of service and how everyone can be involved in some way helping others. This enforces in a very tangible way Kids Against Hunger’s motto: "When you feed a child, you feed our future".
