KIDS HELPING Kids To Beat Hunger Through Hands-On Service, Community ENGAGEMENT, and FOOD Advocacy.
Since 2013:
Pounds of Food
Bags of Food Packed
Youth Volunteers
Service Hours
Since 2013, I Heart Hungry Kids has been working with volunteers age 5-15 to provide empowering opportunities for giving back through programs that impact kid hunger issues right here at home.
A nonprofit founded by Jackson Silverman (then age 7) and his twin brothers Gabe and Riley (then age 5), the boys have been recognized at the local, state, and national levels for their work with youth volunteers in South Carolina — living their motto, “kids helping kids to beat hunger”.
OUR PROGRAMS
Hands-ON SERVICE
Jackson leads programs that offer kids opportunities to do meaningful hands-on service, learn through teamwork, and promote self-empowerment.
FOOD ADVOCACY
Riley works to reform public policy by raising awareness and funds to address lunch debt and finding solutions for hunger in the school systems.
COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT
Gabe organizes canned food drives and fundraising events for kids and families to address issues of food insecurity and strengthen the social fabric in our community.
WHAT IS TOGETHER WE CAN?
Global Youth Service Day has been an important part of our history at I Heart Hungry Kids, and this year, we’re going big!
During April 2020, I Heart Hungry Kids will launch Together We Can, a tri-county wide kid-powered food drive, harnessing the power of youth service to benefit food pantries, Blessing Boxes, and community organizations and beat hunger throughout the Lowcountry.
We are currently signing up individuals and groups that would like to promote and collect food. We are also creating partnerships with local organizations who would like to receive food aid, with a particular emphasis on those who serve children and families. Finally, we are interested in corporate sponsors who want to support this event.
Simply fill out the form to apply to become a part of the biggest youth-led food drive in South Carolina!
