Food Facts. . .

In Texas, 1.3 million people experience hunger daily. 

Almost 15% of our residents are hungry and food insecure.  Texas experiences the highest food insecurity rate among children in the nation. 

Many of the 3 million children who participate in the free lunch program in our public schools go without a meal on the weekends and when school is closed during the summer and on holidays and school breaks.
