Join Us in the No Kid Hungry Fight to End Childhood Hunger

 

No child should ever have to go hungry in America. Using proven, practical solutions, No Kid Hungry seeks to end childhood hunger today by ensuring that kids start the day with a nutritious breakfast.

 

The statistics are sobering. More than 13 million kids—that’s roughly one in six children in America—don’t get the food they need every day. Three out of four teachers say their students regularly come to school hungry. Statistics show that kids who eat school breakfast and lunch miss less school, get better grades and are more likely to graduate from high school.

Here are the facts:

We’re determined to help. We’ve partnered with the campaign to help connect kids in need to nutritious food. In the last five years, Williams Sonoma has raised $5.5 million dollars for No Kid Hungry to help fight child hunger across the United States. We’ve sold 50,000-plus spatulas, helping to connect kids with over 1.5 million meals. Through fundraising efforts ranging from store events, corporate fundraising, Chefs’ Cycle  for No Kid Hungry, and the hugely successful celebrity-designed spatula program, Williams Sonoma has been a leader in helping put an end to hunger. Together, we can end childhood hunger.

 

Join us by making a donation at the cash registers of all Williams Sonoma stores, donating online, purchasing one of our products in stores or online, or attending one of the in-store events to benefit No Kid Hungry below. We hope you’ll join us!
