Americans face food insecurity every day

The Reality

Hunger Doesn't Look Like What You Think

Food insecurity doesn't always look like empty shelves. It looks like a parent skipping meals so their children can eat. It looks like a senior choosing between medication and groceries. It looks like a family that works full-time but still can't make ends meet.

In the Dallas area, tens of thousands of people face this reality every single day. Children show up to school unable to focus because they haven't eaten. Families make impossible choices no one should have to make.

Did You Know?

More than 34 million Americans — including 9 million children — experience food insecurity. Many live in households where at least one adult is employed.
