Kitchen on the Street, Inc. is a Phoenix-based nonprofit addressing child hunger in Arizona by providing weekend food backpacks, known as Bags of Hope, to food-insecure students in the Valley. The organization was founded in 2006 as a 501(c)(3) after a family sought volunteer opportunities and learned of a child who went hungry on weekends, prompting a mission to help food-insecure kids across the state. Bags of Hope are distributed through schools to supply nutrients intended to support a child's physical well-being and cognitive functioning, and the program cites research showing that regular recipients can experience a 12% increase in reading skills and a 26% improvement in math scores.
