WASHINGTON, Nov. 25, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- No Kid Hungry, a national campaign to end childhood hunger in America, gratefully acknowledges the support of its sponsors and partners who are using this holiday season to connect their shoppers and diners to helping the 1 in 7 kids in America living with hunger. National brands like Citi, Grubhub, OpenTable and more will offer seasonal products and promotions that drive donations. Every $1 donated to No Kid Hungry helps provide up to 10 healthy meals to kids in need.

No Kid Hungry is ending childhood hunger in America by ensuring kids have access to three meals a day through programs like school breakfast and summer meals. When the school doors close during the winter months—due to inclement weather or holiday breaks—many kids lose access to meal programs they depend on, making this time of year especially stressful for families struggling to make ends meet.

"While the holiday season is a joyful time to some, it's a different reality for kids living with hunger," said Debbie Shore, co-founder of Share Our Strength, the organization behind the No Kid Hungry campaign. "Thanks to support from our partners, it's easy to give back this season by empowering your dollars, through your holiday shopping and dining, to help kids in need."

No Kid Hungry thanks the following partners who are contributing to No Kid Hungry this holiday season include:

Citi: For the fourth consecutive year, Citi will match No Kid Hungry's donations on Giving Tuesday, up to $100,000. In addition, on Dec. 3 consumers can text "Citi" to 877-877 to donate to No Kid Hungry this holiday season. No Kid Hungry is proud to call Citi a Leading Partner in its work to end childhood hunger.
