"The greatest disease in the west is not TB or leprosy.
It is being unwanted, uncared for and unloved" - Mother Theresa
Facts on Childhood HungerMore than 50 million Americans struggle to put food on the table. More than 17 million of those affected are children.
Why Childhood Hunger Is Important
Hunger impairs our children’s health in significant and long-lasting ways:- Children who struggle with hunger are sick more often, recover more slowly, and are more likely to be hospitalized.
- They are more likely to experience headaches, stomachaches, colds, ear infections and fatigue.
- Children who face hunger are more susceptible to obesity and its harmful health consequences as children and as adults.
- Hunger impedes our childrens’ ability to learn and perform academically:
- Undernourished children under the age of 3 cannot learn as much, as fast or as well.
- Lack of enough nutritious food impairs a child’s ability to concentrate and perform well in school.
- Children who don’t get enough nutritious food are more susceptible to the negative effects of skipping breakfast on their ability to think and learn.
- Hunger predisposes our children to emotional and behavioral difficulties:
- Children who regularly do not get enough nutritious food have more behavioral, emotional and academic problems and tend to be more aggressive and anxious.
- Teens who regularly do not get enough to eat are more likely to be suspended from school and have difficulty getting along with other kids.
