Early child care centers play a key role in ensuring young children receive access to nutritious food they need to learn, grow and thrive to reach their full potential. These flexible grants from No Kid Hungry will allow providers across the country to respond to the growing needs and emerging opportunities to provide healthy food to young children (0-5 years old) and their families facing food insecurity.

No Kid Hungry will prioritize grant funds to organizations and projects serving majority-minority communities, including immigrant populations.

Taking into consideration equity, economic hardship, and COVID-19 impact factors, funds will be prioritized to support organizations and projects with a strong and sustainable plan for maximizing participation in the child nutrition programs and/or leveraging other programs to combat food insecurity.

For application instructions and eligibility requirements, visit the No Kid Hungry website. Applications are due December 18, 2020, fund will be awarded in early 2021, and programs must run through 2021.

No Kid Hungry also has released a webinar recording that answers questions about the grant eligibility, application, and usage.
