Family, Career, and Community Leaders of America (FCCLA) has chosen ‘Share Our Strength, No Kid Hungry’ as the 2011-2012 National Outreach Project. In partnership, the 2011-2012 Pennsylvania FCCLA Community Outreach Project is ‘Share Our Strength, No Kid Hungry’.

PA FCCLA will be selling ‘Kevin’s 11’ Team Kevin t-shirts for $10 at the State Leadership Conference this year and all the proceeds will be going towards ‘Share Our Strength’. In addition, PA FCCLA is asking each chapter to bring an item for a Chinese Basket Raffle that we will be holding as another fundraiser at the State Leadership Conference.

‘Share Our Strength’s goal is to end childhood hunger in America. They believe that by working with others, we will be able to do this by 2015. They want to make sure not only that America’s children have enough to eat, but that they are getting the nutrition to live healthy and active lives. ‘Share Our Strength’s highest priority is to make sure that every child in America gets the nutritious food that they need to learn, grow, and thrive. They improve the access to healthy, nutritious food to families all across the country that they can get for an affordable cost. They create partnerships, build public awareness, invest in communities with grants to organizations whose work improves access to nutritious foods or that educate families about such programs, and educate children and families.

So how does FCCLA help? Every dollar counts. Every dollar that is raised can help provide one child with up to ten meals. Need fundraising ideas? Go to www.strength.org or nokidhungry.org for fundraising ideas or more information. Let’s make a difference!
