Our Mission

Teens Fighting Hunger is a non-profit organization as defined by 501 (c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Service. Founded in 2007 in Lake Oswego, Oregon, our mission is threefold:

1. to provide relief - throughout the year - to the nearly 17 million hungry children in the United States;

2. to promote youth involvement and empower teenagers to use their skills, talents, creativity and energy in such ways that they develop both the pleasure and habit of giving back and making a positive difference in the lives of others; and

3. to raise awareness about the hunger problem in America in order to create a continuous stream of hunger relief.

 



Which One Of These Children Is Hungry?

NEW ITEMS IN OUR STORE!

 

According to a new study by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), about one of every four children in the United States does not have enough food for an active, healthy lifestyle. Overall, nearly 17 million children now fall into this category, up an alarming 4.3 million in just the last two years.

We look forward to the day when every child is as happy and healthy as the kids in this photo. There are a variety of ways you can help make this a reality — especially this holiday season.
