This fall, Williams Sonoma brand will enter into its sixth year of supporting No Kid Hungry. These years have been a meaningful journey for all of us, as together we committed to connecting children in need to healthful meals all across the country - in the communities where our customers shop and in the neighborhoods where our associates live.

Williams Sonoma has helped raise $3.1 million to support No Kid Hungry in the past five years. That translates to 31 million meals where kids live learn, and play, and includes healthy breakfast served to children in schools all across America. This is critical because statistics have shown that children who start the day off with a healthy meal can improve their test scores by up to 20%. Williams Sonoma has set a goal to raise $2 million dollars in 2017, which will provide 20 million more meals for children in need. These are changes that will impact our future generations, and I could not be more proud of this work we are doing to end childhood hunger.

Together, we will make a difference in the lives of children in America.
