The faces of hunger may surprise you. The neighbors we serve include seniors, children, hardworking families, single parents, the newly unemployed, and veterans.

In fact, more than 134,000 of our neighbors are experiencing hunger at any given time. Food insecurity can be detrimental to a child's development, and forces parents and other adults to make difficult compromises about what bills to pay on a strained budget.
