Summer 2026 Nutrition Expansion Grants is a grant from No Kid Hungry / Share Our Strength that funds schools and community organizations operating federal summer feeding programs for children.

“We’re just trying anything we can do to help feed these kids,” said Christine Clarahan, a school nutrition director in Indiana whose team received No Kid Hungry grants to help serve breakfast and lunch three times a week to 2,400 students. “It is worth it when you see the kids’ smiles or the relief on the parents’ faces. ” Where Does Grant Money Go?
Our impact map shows every grant we’ve provided since March 2020. Visit our impact map. No Kid Hungry grants for schools and communities are rarely used to buy food.
The actual food served by public schools and community programs is paid for, partly, through the fees paid by students and by the federal government, which reimburses schools for the costs of the meals they serve. But running a successful meals program requires more than food. School cafeterias and community centers need equipment like refrigerators and coolers.
If a school serves breakfast in the classroom, they need carts and cooler bags to deliver the meals. During the coronavirus pandemic, tens of thousands of school meals programs suddenly needed all kinds of equipment, from delivery trucks to protective gear for workers to packaging for delivery meals. These are the kinds of items No Kid Hungry helps pay for through our grants.
