If it sounds simple, that's because it is.\n\nThat doesn\u2019t mean ending childhood hunger is easy. We know what works, and we\u2019ve made extraordinary progress for kids and families.\n\nBut the job isn\u2019t done, and won\u2019t be done until we\u2019ve met that promise and every single child in America has the food they need to grow up healthy and strong.\n<h2>THE PROBLEM: KIDS IN TEXAS ARE HUNGRY<\/h2>\nThere is no possible excuse for children to go hungry in this country. Yet it happens - every day, in every community.\n\nMore than 23% of children in Texas 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.\n\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.nokidhungry.org\/who-we-are\/hunger-facts\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Learn more Hunger Facts from No Kid Hungry<\/a>\n<h2>WE HAVE THE SOLUTION<\/h2>\nWe have plenty of food in the United States.
