No Kid Hungry NC

• Intern

  • Jan 2021 - Jul 2021

  No Kid Hungry (NKH) North Carolina is a non-profit organization focused on ending child hunger. Rather than directly providing meals to children, NKH focuses its efforts on connection and education. They connect children with nutritious food that is available to them but often under-utilized. Additionally, nutrition education is a critical component of NKH’s mission to make healthy, nutritious food accessible to all. However, as with many organizations, COVID-19 largely impacted the work of NKH. As a result, a new collaborative project, called The Carolina Hunger Initiative (CHI), was launched. CHI allows the staff at NKH to focus on understanding, analyzing, and creatively solving the issues (both new and old) confronted when attempting to safely continue meal services for the children who rely on them during this pandemic. Overall, both NKH and CHI provide valuable information and tools in the fight against hunger. As an intern I was able to collaborate on these impactful projects and work along side the team to end child hunger in NC!
