Per the No Kid Hungry Blog (https://www.nokidhungry.org/blog/how-many-kids-united-states-live-hunger),
“1 in 5 kids in the United States are living with hunger. That’s over 13 million children – a huge jump from a year ago.
Some of these children are missing meals; others are faced with daily uncertainty about food as their parents make tradeoffs between buying groceries or paying bills. But for so many children to go without adequate food in the United States is a tragedy – and a crisis.”
The NoKidHungrySongSprite fundraising campaign to start 11/1/23 is aimed at using art to try to put a small dent in this problem. Stayed tuned!
