About Hunger
In 2005, 1.4 billion people in developing countries lived in extreme poverty, living on less than $1.25 a day.
Every day, almost 16,000 children die from hunger-related causes.
In the United States, 14.5 percent of households struggle to put food on the table.
More than one in four American children are at risk of hunger. More than one in five children live in households that struggle to put food on the table.
We can end hunger in our time. Everyone, including the government, must do their part.
By making our voices heard in Congress, we help to ensure laws which are fair and compassionate towards people in need.
