The Need
Hunger in America
• More than 17 million households in America are food
insecure. (Source: Share Our Strength: No Kid Hunger Facts on Childhood Hunger)
• More than 16 million children in America are
struggling with hunger.
• 3 out of 4 public school teachers say that students
regularly come to school hungry. 81% say it happens
at least once a week. (Source: No Kid Hungry: Hunger in our Schools)
The Consequences of Hunger
Lack of nutritious food impairs a child’s ability to
concentrate and perform well in school. (Source: Share Our
Strength: No Kid Hunger Facts on Childhood Hunger)
Childhood hunger is linked to:
• Increased hospitalizations, developmental problems,
headaches, stomachaches and even colds;
• Higher levels of behavioral, emotional and academic
problems;
• Greater risk of truancy and school tardiness.
United Way’s Role

Federal Programs Help Fight Hunger
The Food and Nutrition Services Division of the U.S.
Department of Agriculture (USDA) administers several
programs that help fight hunger and obesity by
reimbursing organizations such as schools, child care
centers, nonprofits, and after-school programs for
providing healthy meals to children.
• National School Lunch Program
