The Problem

Childhood food insecurity is a national problem, it occurs when children receive insufficient food on a regular basis; in many cases missing meals entirely. After a while, these children also experience “fear of hunger” that affects their behavior as much as physical hunger affects their bodies. There are more than 6.5 million food-insecure children in American households today. (USDA 2023)

How End 68 Hours of Hunger Helps

This program puts nourishing food in the hands of school children to carry them through the weekend. Each bag of food is valued at $15 each week and provides two breakfasts, two lunches, and three dinners for a child. With the support of food donations, we can lower the cost to approximately $10.
