Our Cause
Lawyers Helping Hungry Children is a 501 (c)(3) organization dedicated to eradicating child hunger in our local communities. No child should go hungry, yet more than 13 million children worldwide are underfed. In Washington State alone, the number is a staggering 280,000 children. As lawyers, we provide financial assistance to feeding organizations and advocate for high-risk, hungry children. We share our partners’ vision of eliminating child hunger in our communities.
Our Grantees
We take pride in our compliance with all rules, laws, and regulations, as well as our commitment to public transparency in our heartfelt mission to feed hungry children—one child at a time. Each year, we will select additional grantees on a case-by-case basis.
CARE
CARE International was established in the 1940s. The first CARE Package™ arrived in Le Havre, France, in May 1946, in response to millions of people in need of food at the end of World War II, known then as the Cooperative for American Remittances to Europe. CARE took possession of 2.8 million USA army surplus packages in 1946, each containing enough food to feed 10 people for one day, or one person for 10 days. CARE trained the newly formed Peace Corps in 1961. By 2023 CARE reached almost 10 million children in 26 countries in 2023 to provide food, supplies and advocate for social welfare for a better world.
