OUR WORK
Feed the Children is dedicated to ending childhood hunger both at home and abroad
At A Glance
In 2020, through collaboration with our family of corporate and community partners, donors and volunteers, our work benefited 7.3 million people globally. That’s more than the total populations of Los Angeles and Houston combined.
In the United States, we distributed more than 79.2 million pounds of food and essential items to children and families who needed them. Our total outreach benefited 5.6 million people in the communities where they live"including areas struck by natural disasters last year such as hurricanes, floods, tornadoes and wildfires where we distributed millions of pounds of food and supplies.
To support education initiatives, we provided more than $3.7 million worth of teaching supplies across the U.S. as well as books valued at $7 million that could benefit approximately 574,000 students. Internationally, our work secured much-needed school supplies and books for over 13,000 students.

Learn MoreSummer Feeding Program
Feed the Children’s summer feeding program is designed to help bridge the gap for kids who rely on school breakfasts and lunches when school is not in session. We are working with community partners to make sure food reaches hungry families by delivering meals door-to-door or through curbside pickup distribution. The program will serve families and children throughout the summer with the help of community partners who are looking for innovative ways to defeat hunger.
