Nobody should have to go hungry, but unfortunately, many people do. Approximately 55 million Americans confess that it’s hard for them to afford food, and 1 out of 6 people regularly experience hunger due to food insecurity or scarcity.

Lack of food can make you physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausted. You may find it difficult to hold down a job, maintain relationships, or perform everyday tasks when you’re hungry. Over time, you may even develop chronic health problems from vitamin deficiencies.
