Hunger in America

I had the privilege of going to New Mexico with Share Our Strength to document hunger in America. 1 in every 4 children in the United States is at risk of hunger or is food insecure. 1 in every 4. Share Our Strength is working to combat this figure by creating access to meal programs across the country. Hunger in America looks like hunger anywhere else in the world. Children are not getting enough to eat. Some of these children eat only once a day and might not eat at all if these programs did not exist. I was honored to be invited into the lives of these children and communities for a few days to glimpse this crisis and witness a solution.
