One in four children are food insecure in NC.
61% of NC families rely on food banks for food. NC is ranked one of the worst for hunger in all fifty states. All of these claims are true. Hunger is a very big problem in North Carolina, heck, it is a problem in the whole world. I think that we all can help with this problem on both a local and a a global scale. Rise against hunger is an organization that I have worked with in the past (no joke) at a nearby YMCA. It was previously called Stop Hunger Now. They have packaged 782,784 meals this week alone, and 310,225,765 over the 7.6 years they've been around. It is very fun and easy to help at locations in your area. TAKE ACTION!

This is a huge problem, has this organization helped to reduce food deserts?

I think this will make a GREAT day of service. If the whole eighth grade helped out, we would definitely make a humongous difference.

With all of these meals being packaged how many people are still being impacted by hunger.
