About Us

Florida Impact has partnered with Share Our Strength and the Food Research and Action Center (FRAC) in Washington, D.C., to develop and implement a multi-year, strategic Ten-Point Plan to end childhood hunger in Florida. The Florida Plan—produced with funding from Share Our Strength and The United Parcel Service Foundation—represents one of the first efforts at the state level to produce a plan building off of the Plan to End Childhood Hunger in the Nation's Capital developed by the Food Research and Action Center, Share Our Strength, and DC Hunger Solutions.

The Florida Partnership to End Childhood Hunger serves as an anchor around which more than 50 organizations are committed to working collaboratively to make Florida the first state in the nation to end childhood hunger. The Partnership proposes to do this by leveraging more of the federal nutrition dollars and the Earned Income Tax Credits intended for but not reaching Florida's low-income families. To do this most effectively, we will build on public and private partnerships and systems in communities around the state.
