DID YOU KNOW???
49.0 million Americans, including 16 million children and 4.8 million seniors, are food insecure, meaning they live at risk of hunger
Food insecurity: USDA’s measure of lack of access, at times, to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members; limited or uncertain availability of nutritionally adequate foods.
46.5 million Americans receive food and groceries from the Feeding America network each year, including 12 million children and 7 million seniors.
5.4 million Americans are fed by the Feeding America network every week.
More than 1 in 5 children live at risk of hunger.
1 in 6 Americans is food insecure.
1 in 7 Americans lives at or below the poverty level.
1 in 7 Americans uses SNAP benefits (formerly known as Food Stamps).
1 in 7 Americans is currently served by the Feeding America network.
These statistics are heartbreaking! I had no idea that 1 in 5 children are at risk of hunger, and did not realize that 1 in 7 Americans are served by the Feeding America network! This is staggering, so let’s all do our part to help to Feeding America!
We have some of the best readers anywhere, and I’m sure that many of you would love to help, but maybe you’re not sure exactly what to donate. Here are some ideas of recommended items to donate:
