Help end childhood hunger!

One in every six Ohioans live in food insecure households and, even more disturbing, one in every four children in Ohio are food insecure, a term the United States Department of Agriculture defines as the lack of access to enough food for an active, healthy life. Without sufficient funding, key programs like School Lunch and Breakfast, the At-Risk After School Supper Program and the Summer Food Programs will be unable to meet the needs of children for whom they are truly a lifeline.

"We must change this," says Mid-Ohio Foodbank President and CEO Matt Habash. “Our challenge is to respond to these alarming numbers with food to meet the need now and public policies that will end childhood hunger. It is morally reprehensible that any child should go hungry in America.”

Help us meet the goal of ending childhood hunger by 2015. Call your representative today, or send them an e-mail through Feeding America’s Hunger Action Center.

Stake your claim

In order to see real progress in the fight against hunger, we need the people in power on our side. We urge you to contact your elected officials today to
express your concern about hunger in your community—and foster the
political will to end it.
