Helena, MT - April 12, 2019 - (Ponder the Homeless) -- Governor Steve Bullock and First Lady Lisa Bullock have kicked off the 5th annual statewide Fight Childhood Hunger Week in Montana. From April 8-14, over 40 projects and events will take place in 16 communities across the state. Projects are organized and led by 19 middle and high school students who serve on the Governor and First Lady Youth Leadership Council.
“Nothing inspires me more than seeing students take the lead in fighting childhood hunger in their communities,” First Lady Bullock said today kicking off Fight Childhood Hunger Week. “Young people like Elaina and other members of the Youth Leadership Council are committing their time and energy to making a difference because they know firsthand when they have access to food, they can better focus on their most important job – learning.”
First Lady Bullock and Governor Bullock joined Youth Leadership Council member Elaina Patten at a luncheon at Montana’s State Capitol to kick off Fight Childhood Hunger Week. Attendees heard personal experiences with food insecurity in Montana, as well as information about childhood hunger in Montana and how to address it.
“Childhood hunger is a problem we can solve and it’s the work of these youth leaders that will help us in doing that,” said Governor Bullock. “Lisa and I are grateful for their efforts in shaping a world where every kid has the fuel they need to succeed.”
Projects are designed to increase awareness of the issue of childhood hunger, or to tackle childhood hunger in the state by starting new weekend backpack programs, school breakfast programs, or school food pantries, advocating to public and elected leaders about the importance of this issue, and coordinating volunteers to directly serve the community.
Fight Childhood Hunger Week projects include:
Billings: 24 Hour Walk-a-thon at Rimrock Mall
Bozeman: “Spring for Food” All Schools Food Drive
Charlo: Poverty Simulations for 6th-12th grade classes, Community Dinner and Community Movie Night
Glendive: 5K Color Run
Hardin: “Hunger, Let’s Talk About It” Awareness Event
Helena: Hunger Luncheon at the Capitol Rotunda and Hunger Dinner at Capitol High School
Trout Creek: Fun Run and Quilt Raffle
