WHAT HUNGER LOOKS LIKE
1 in 7 Americans (~46.5 million) turn to the Feeding America network for food assistance.
69% have had to choose between food and utilities, 67% between food and transportation, and 66% between food and medical care.
A study in 2016 found that over 13 million children were facing hunger issues daily.
That same study showed 9 million seniors faced food insecurity.
