Here at No Kid Hungry, we believe that young people have the power to shape what the future will look like.
Currently, 1 in 6 kids is at risk of hunger in America. Even with schools starting to open up again, there are still many kids and teens unable to get the school meals they depend on. Young people and their families can take the World Needs Challenge and help us end childhood hunger for good.
Take the World Needs Challenge
This year, Students Rebuild, a Bezos Family Foundation program, has launched a new campaign called the World Needs Challenge!
We’re asking young people to create art to support some of the greatest needs in our global community today. Students can then become “art-ivists” by designing posters, buttons or pennants to amplify the messages and issues they care about.
Each piece of artwork submitted, the Bezos Family Foundation will make a $5 donation–up to $2.5 million–to partners like the No Kid Hungry campaign, who are addressing some of our world’s biggest needs.
Learn more about the World Needs Challenge and register to participate before the Challenge ends on June 3, 2022.
Use Your Art to Thank a Hunger Hero
If you need an idea of the art you can create, think of our hunger heroes.
Cafeteria workers, teachers and others continue to be on the ground feeding kids nationwide during this crisis.
Without them, many children wouldn’t get to eat.
Draw a picture or design a poster to show your gratitude for these heroes. Along with submitting your art, you can also post it on social media using #thankahungerhero. Tag @nokidhungry, and we'll share it in our social channels.
How to Submit Your Art to Students Rebuild
Make sure your contribution counts and results in a financial donation from the Bezos Family Foundation!
Start online at studentsrebuild.com/submit. You will need access to the email address you used to register for verification before completing the submission process. Make sure to note how many people contributed to your art making —if you’re contributing as a team — and how many individual pieces of art were made.
You can submit your art digitally or by mail!
Digital photo submission: Select “Upload Art.” You do not need to take a photo of each piece of art, but can submit group shots if there are multiple entries. Please make sure images are in PNG or JPG format and are less than 10 MB.
Mailing your art: Select “Mail Art.” This will generate a mailing slip that will provide both the mailing address and details of your submission. Unable to print? You can also write down the provided details on a slip of paper and include it in your package. You will get a confirmation email within four weeks of receiving your package.
This is a generation that cares – about their neighbors and peers, the communities they live in, and the world around them. Make a difference today. Become an “art-ivist” and join us to make sure kids have the meals the need to thrive.
