1 in 5 Children Go Hungry Here in the U.S.



Statistics tell us that 1 in 5 children go hungry here in the United States. This is a number that baffles some, amazes others, and angers most, but there is something we can all do to improve upon this number, we can give. We may not all be able to give financially but we can all find a way to give.

Every community has some way for us to give back, whether it is through the Family Resource Center at your local schools, local volunteer centers, or food pantries. I extend an invitation to everyone to give back to your community. You live there, work there, shop there, your children go to school there.

Take an hour or two to volunteer in your community once a week or once a month you have no idea how much such a small amount of your time can affect such a large amount of people for the better.  For more information on Volunteering, contact us at 270-735-1407.
