Facts About Hunger in America
According to the USDA, more than 44 million people, including 9 million children, in the United States are food insecure.
Every community in the country is home to families who face hunger. But rural communities are especially hard hit by hunger with 1 in 5 children food insecure.
49 Million people turned to food programs in 2022
Many households that experience food insecurity do not qualify for federal nutrition programs and visit their local food banks and other food programs for extra support.
Hunger in African American, Latino, and Native American communities is higher because of systemic racial injustice. To achieve a hunger-free America, we must address the root causes of hunger and structural and systemic inequities.
The Global Hunger Crisis
783 million people don’t know where their next meal will come from
1 in 5 deaths among children under the age of 5 is attributed to severe acute malnutrition
Every community in the country is home to families who face hunger. But rural communities are especially hard hit by hunger.
Save the Children served 750,557 children across nine hunger-affected countries receiving treatment for acute malnutrition. With 21,567 community health workers and healcare providers trained.
Thank you for your support!
