The American Dream starts with a full plate.

1 out of 5 kids in America, and even more dire, 1 out of 3 kids in Santa Cruz County, faces hunger.

For millions of kids across America, when school is out, meals disappear. Weekends, holidays, and summer break can bring uncertainty about where their next meal will come from.

Our nation was founded on a shared vision that brought people together and led to the signing of the Declaration of Independence. Nearly 250 years later, it's time to rally the nation around another declaration: to nourish every child’s potential.

This July 4, in honor of America’s 250th anniversary, we’re partnering with Safeway’s Nourishing Neighbors program to launch “Nourish the American Dream”, a nationwide, multi-year movement to help end childhood hunger once and for all.

The American Dream starts with a full plate, and funding a full plate starts with you. Donate today to nourish the American Dream.
