Hunger is a very real problem right here in our community.
YOU are a part of the solution.
-
Going hungry makes kids sick. As a result, they miss more days of school and are less prepared to learn when they are able to attend.
-
Malnourished children are more likely to have poorer mental health, be withdrawn or socially disruptive, and suffer greater rates of behavioral disorders.
-
Hungry children show higher levels of aggression, hyperactivity, and anxiety, and often have difficulty getting along with other children.
-
Under-nutrition can limit a child's ability to grasp basic skills and overall learning potential.
-
Hungry students have lower test scores and poorer overall school achievement.
With just $5, YOU can feed a hungry child for one weekend.
With $200, YOU can feed a child for an entire school year.
