Food Bank For The Heartland
Hunger affects communities across the country. The USDA reports
that 50 million Americans are uncertain of where they will find their next meal. Feeding America and its 200 member food banks
are asking everyone to get involved in the fight against domestic hunger.
Hunger impacts thousands of people right here in the heartland; it is
especially devastating for children. According to "Map the Meal Gap: Child Food
Insecurity 2011", a study from Feeding America, approximately 20 percent of
children in Nebraska and western Iowa under the age of 18 are at-risk for
hunger. Of the 444,893 children in the 93 counties served by Food Bank for the
Heartland, there are 92,270 children struggling with hunger.
