It’s the largest national youth-led food drive.

Three individuals participate in community service by collecting and distributing food items. They are shown with boxes of groceries, showcasing a commitment to volunteer opportunities and civic engagement.

Every year, 12 million students in the United States rely on free or reduced-price lunch programs at their schools. Once the school year ends, many of these students are left not knowing where their next meal will come from. Every young person deserves the chance to perform at their highest level on and off the playing field, but a lack of nutrition negatively affects their energy, physical development, and overall well-being.

This spring and summer, DoSomething and the NFL have partnered up, as part of NFL Huddle for 100, to power the largest youth-led food drive to keep kids across the country active, energized, fueled up, and healthy. DoSomething members have already collected 126,669 non-perishable items to tackle hunger in their communities! Check out some of their stories and find out how you can join the Huddle Against Hunger!
