Operation Frontline Georgia

Share Our Strength

The Invisible Hunger
It invades our schools. It preys on children.
It destroys families.
And it tears communities apart.
You can't see it by looking.
The victims are black, white, Asian and Hispanic.
You can't measure it in pounds.
It affects short and tall, thin and chubby.
YOU CAN'T SEE IT,
BUT IT LIVES NEXT DOOR
The problem is hunger.
A shameful, unthinkable hunger.
Child hunger.
In the wealthiest nation in the world.
Over the course of the year, more than 12 million children in America will worry about having the food they need.
That's one in six.
Next time you see a playground, count heads.
One, two, three, four, five . . . hungry.
The invisible hunger is everywhere.
Who is SHARE OUR STRENGTH?

Share Our Strength's Operation Frontline is a nutrition education program that fights hunger by teaching families how to make healthy and budget-wise food choices. Operation Frontline's cooking-based nutrition education classes are taught by professional chefs and nutritionists who volunteer to share their expertise with participants. Each class is built around a participatory cooking lesson designed to teach the basics of healthy eating, cooking, food safety, and food budgeting.
