Excellence in Customer Service

No Kid Hungry Spotlight School Initiative

No Kid Hungry has been an ongoing partner to School Food Service in helping to promote school meal
programs and increase meal participation throughout the District. During the past school year, No Kid Hungry
has awarded School Food Service $30,000 for supplies and equipment to help support our passion of keeping
kids first!

No Kid Hungry is a national campaign run by Share Our Strength, a nonprofit organization working to solve
problems of childhood hunger and poverty in the United States and around the world. No Kid Hungry wants
to tell the story of hungry children in America, but people don’t respond only to data and plans. They also
need to see and hear stories - the voices of children, images showing meal programs, and firsthand testimony
from educators.

As part of that endeavor, No Kid Hungry has partnered with School Food Service to participate in Spotlight
Schools – Palm Beach County, a project designed to tell those stories through the No Kid Hungry campaign
and the successful school programs that are feeding them. The District is just one of three in the country to be
part of the initiative this year.

During this past year, No Kid Hungry spotlighted Northmore Elementary School. Their publicity team
documented stories through virtual interviews throughout the year and their film crew spent three days in
April interviewing School Food Service staff, teachers, administrators, parents, and students and captured
exciting footage of children receiving and eating breakfast and lunch. These images and stories will be used
to amplify the extraordinary work being done every day to make sure our students never go hungry.
