NO CHILD SHOULD GO HUNGRY IN SOUTH CAROLINA\"\"<\/h2>\n

At No Kid Hungry South Carolina, we are committed to ensuring that every kid has 3 meals a day, 365 days a year.<\/p>\n

We know what works, and we\u2019ve made extraordinary progress for kids and families. That doesn\u2019t mean ending childhood hunger is easy.<\/p>\n

THE PROBLEM<\/h3>\n

We know hunger is a solvable problem, but every day it impacts children\u2019s ability to learn and grow.<\/p>\n

More than 18% of children in South Carolina 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. That\u2019s almost 1 in 6 kids who may be struggling with hunger in South Carolina. Learn more Hunger Facts from No Kid Hungry<\/a><\/p>\n

We have plenty of food in the United States. And we have child hunger relief programs that work. The problem is that not enough kids are able to access them. That’s a problem we know how to solve.<\/span><\/p>\n
