Why Food is Important
Hungry children struggle in school, have behavioral and/or emotional issues, more absenteeism, and poorer overall health.
Hungry adults can suffer from a variety of health issues, including high blood pressure or diabetes. Many parents feel guilt and shame from not being able to provide for their family, and the stress of trying to decide between their economic challenges.....should I eat or pay rent?
