NO CHILD SHOULD GO HUNGRY IN FLORIDA

At No Kid Hungry, that’s our promise. If it sounds simple, that’s because it is.

That doesn’t mean ending childhood hunger is easy. We know what works, and we’ve made extraordinary progress for kids and families.

But the job isn’t done, and won’t be done until we’ve met that promise and every single child in America has the food they need to grow up healthy and strong.

THE PROBLEM: KIDS IN FLORIDA ARE HUNGRY

There is no possible excuse for children to go hungry in this country. Yet it happens – every day, in every community.

More than 22.7% of children in Florida live in “food insecure” homes. That phrase may sound mild, but it means that those households don’t have enough food for every family member to lead a healthy life.
