Expanding opportunities for the world's children to receive adequate nutrition for learning and achieving their potential.
Change Our World is an annual cause marketing campaign that raises awareness about childhood hunger and raises financial resources so that GCNF can help build sustainable school feeding programs in developing countries. Change Our World is a vital campaign for GCNF that aims to activate the community to address child hunger and is fueled by the innovative fundraising strategies of industry, individuals and many School Nutrition Association (SNA) members.
Industry chooses from a number of campaign activities including, but not limited to, adopting the Change Our World theme for a product sales promotion, designating a percentage of sales to benefit GCNF, featuring the Change Our World campaign on the company’s website, or conducting an employee giving campaign or a matching gift program. Schools develop fun, innovative and creative activities, and volunteers hold community-based hunger awareness and fundraising events. Every nickel, dime and quarter raised is an important source of funding for local and global hunger efforts.
The Wellness Event to Change Our World takes place during the School Nutrition Association’s Annual National Conference (ANC) attended by over 5,000 participants who provide high-quality, low-cost meals to students across the United States. Over 500 ANC attendees participate in the event each year. The Wellness Event is a celebration of the corporate industry members, school foodservice professionals, and students who participate in the Change Our World campaign. The Wellness Event raises awareness about childhood hunger and raises financial resources so that GCNF can help build sustainable school feeding programs in developing countries.
Spring is in the air! Dig out your rakes and hoes and put on your sun-hat and garden gloves. It’s time to say goodbye to dark skies and gray clouds and hello to the smell of roses.
“The main thing that keeps me coming to school is that I know I will get a nutritious meal every day. As a result, I have not been missing any classes this year…”
The Global Child Nutrition Foundation (GCNF) is pleased that Representative Jo Ann Emerson (R-MO) introduced a resolution on March 19, 2010, dedicating April as Global Child Nutrition Month with co-sponsorship from Jim McGovern (D-MA).
Change Our World fundraising initiatives are going on through out the country. Please send stories about your Change Our World experiences to GCNF.
