What We Do Has Impact
The hunger crisis in Henderson County, NC is bigger than most people realize.
Last year, 92% of the Club members were eligible for the National School Lunch Program, which determines eligibility based on family household income. That compares to 55% of students countywide who are eligible during the 2013 – 2014 school year. Many do not have a hot meal from Friday lunch until Monday morning breakfast. In fact, 49.1 million Americans – including nearly 17 million children – lack the means to regularly put enough nutritious food on the table.
What is the impact of alleviating childhood hunger?
In the United States, more than one out of five children lives in a household with food insecurity, which means they do not always know where they will find their next meal. Insufficient nutrition puts children at risk for illness and weakens their immune system. The immature immune systems of young children, make them especially vulnerable to nutritional deprivation and as a result, the ability to learn, grow and fight infections is adversely affected.
