HUNGER 101

America is the land of plenty. But for 1 in 6 Americans hunger is a reality. Many people believe that the problems associated with hunger are confined to small pockets of society, certain areas of the country, or certain neighborhoods, but the reality is much different. Right now, millions of Americans are struggling with hunger. We all know and are in contact with people affected by hunger, even though we may not be aware of it.

These are often hard-working adults, children and seniors who simply cannot make ends meet and are forced to go with out food for several meals, or even days. Most of us simply have no idea. It's time to educate ourselves about the causes of hunger in America.
