Hunger in Our Backyard - in every Community in the Carolinas people face hunger

Though many of us may not realize the grave disparities that exist in our own communities, people struggle with hunger in every county and congressional district in North and South Carolina. They could be our neighbors, kids in our children’s classes – the possibilities go on. Every community is home to families who struggle with food insecurity including rural and suburban communities.

Over 1.5M adults and 650k children are struggling with hunger throughout the Carolinas – this is 1 in 7 adults, and 1 in 5 children.
