Did You Know That...

  • One in six children go to bed hungry every day
  • Children from food-insecure families are 90% more likely to be in fair or poor health and have 30% higher rates of hospitalization
  • 85% of organizations dedicated to combating hunger in Broward County reported an increased demand for services and two-thirds report not being able to meet those demands
  • Almost half of all applications for food stamps in Broward County are currently rejected, leaving families with few options for support
