Grants

No Kid Hungry can help you feed kids in Missouri

One strategy Missouri has adopted from the national No Kid Hungry model is building partnerships and supporting child nutrition efforts through a grant program.

The Missouri Family and Community Trust administers grants with assistance from the University of Missouri-Center for Health Policy (CHP) to provide funding to schools and other nonprofit community-based organizations that feed children. Since 2017 (the first grant cycle), more than 450 grants have been awarded.
