Funding supports launch of Mayors Alliance Action Fund and boosts on-the-ground solutions

WASHINGTON, Jan. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Share Our Strength's No Kid Hungry campaign announced the expanded impact of its Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger and member communities through a $1.5 million commitment by Dollar Tree to strengthen mayor-led strategies and local solutions that help ensure every child has the food they need to thrive.

Dollar Tree's support will help deepen the collaboration across mayors nationwide to build stronger, more resilient systems to ensure kids get the meals they need during the school year, over the summer or in times of crisis. A key component of this partnership is the launch of the Mayors Alliance Action Fund that gives cities funding to respond to local needs, helping mayors act quickly and effectively for their constituents.

Fourteen million kids today live in families that struggle with food insecurity. They may go without food between the meals they get at school, or their parents may skip meals so their kids can be nourished. No Kid Hungry works to strengthen federal nutrition programs that provide kids with the consistent nutrition they need, but local leadership is often what determines the success of these programs.

The Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger taps into the individual and collective leadership of mayors, who are closest to the problem and uniquely positioned to drive practical and community-centered solutions to end childhood hunger in cities nationwide. Launched in 2022, the Mayors Alliance has rapidly grown from 50 to more than 500 mayors, building a powerful bipartisan movement to ensure no child goes hungry in America. 

"As mayors, we see firsthand how hunger impacts the health and opportunity of our children," said Mayor Daniel Rickenmann of Columbia, South Carolina, Chair of the Mayors Alliance to End Childhood Hunger. "The Mayors Alliance Action Fund is about empowering local leaders to drive solutions that fit their communities, and ensuring every child has the nourishment they need to reach their full potential." 

The inaugural grant recipients of the Mayors Alliance Action Fund to End Childhood Hunger include:

Central Falls, Rhode Island	Mayor Maria Rivera	The Central Falls Summer Food Access Program
Cleveland, Ohio	Mayor Justin Bibb	The Food Access Navigators Project
Durham, North Carolina	Mayor Leonardo Williams	Convening Durham
Mableton, Georgia	Mayor Michael Owens	The Mableton Summer Nutrition and Family Empowerment Initiative
Milwaukee, Wisconsin	Mayor Cavalier Johnson	The Federal Nutrition Mini-Grants for Mayoral Action
Moreno Valley, California	Mayor Ulises Cabrera	The Summer Meals in the Park Expansion Project
New Orleans, Louisiana	Mayor Helena Moreno	NOHD Public Benefits Navigation Hub Project
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania	Mayor Cherelle Parker	The Philadelphia Summer Meals Expansion Strategy

"Mayors understand better than anyone how hunger affects their communities, and they are uniquely positioned to lead effective, local solutions," said Anne Filipic, CEO of Share Our Strength, the organization behind No Kid Hungry. "Dollar Tree's investment fuels that leadership, helping promote best practices across cities nationwide, scale what works and support local partners that meet the realities families face."

With this investment, Dollar Tree becomes the largest supporter of the Mayors Alliance. This commitment builds on the company's longstanding presence in communities nationwide and brings its total investment in No Kid Hungry to $3 million since the partnership began in 2024.

"At Dollar Tree, we believe every child deserves the opportunity to thrive, and that begins with reliable access to nutritious food," said Jennifer Silberman, Chief Sustainability and Corporate Affairs Officer at Dollar Tree. "We are proud to expand our partnership with No Kid Hungry and support the trusted local leadership of mayors who know their communities best. This investment allows us to help amplify proven solutions and bring real momentum to a cause that matters to families nationwide."
