MISSION - WHAT WE DO

In the United States, we distribute product donations of food and other items from corporate donors through our network of local community partners, we provide classroom support and school supplies to students in vulnerable areas, and we mobilize resources quickly to aid recovery efforts when natural disasters strike.

VISION - GOALS AND ASPIRATIONS

Providing hope and resources for those without life's essentials

SERVICES - HOW WE DO IT

We believe that we need to collaborate with others working to defeat hunger, especially to promote strategies that we know will help children survive and thrive. Feed the Children program staff members - both in our country programs and in our headquarters teams - have supported dozens of organizations in using effective strategies around the world, along with on-going training of our own Feed the Children staff. We are always looking for improved strategies to help children survive and thrive. We hold the following values for our programmatic work:• Whole Community,• Needs-based,• Evidence-based,• Child-focused,• Measurable impact,• Partnerships, and• Long-term sustainable impact. Feed the Children's development teams seek relationships with foundations, corporations, and individuals that share a passion for serving children, their families, and their communities around the world. Feed the Children has worked side-by-side to create long-standing, mutually beneficial partnerships for many years. One of Feed the Children's core values, championing partnerships, means that developing relationships with local communities and governments, as well as private and public donors, is crucial to this work. Feed the Children strategically engages relevant government departments, key stakeholders, and opinion leaders of the community to discuss the true need of the community and a plan for action. The activities introduced are therefore appropriate, involve community members as stakeholders, and can be maintained by the community. Internationally, Feed the Children's program activities combine meeting immediate nutritional, health, and educational needs of children with promoting positive, long-term behavioral change to children and their caregivers, particularly mothers. As part of our strategy, Feed the Children is increasingly conducting formative research (e.g., barrier analysis and positive deviant studies) in order to better understand the barriers and enablers of effective change in the communities in which we work. We also seek to identify the uncommon – but successful – behaviors and strategies that enable some poor families to find better solutions to a problem than their peers.
