The Ujima Hunger Coalition is a non-profit organization dedicated to tackling food insecurity among America's youth. Ujima aims to establish state sponsorships and foster local partnerships to build a network that ensures every eligible child has access to nutritious meals outside of school hours. We believe no child should go hungry, no child should worry where or when they will get their next meal. And we believe wholly in a future that is not just fed, but nourished.
