Hunger and homelessness are extremely prevalent social issues in the United States of America. Today, over 35 million Americans* still go without food on a regular basis. Due to the falling economy, many families are having to choose to pay rent or buy food, or between medical care and food. We are seeing more people than usual in need of a meal or emergency food supplies to carry them through the end of the month.
*Statistic from the National Coalition for the Homeless
