We’re not talking about the “hangry” (hungry + angry) you feel when your pizza delivery is late or you end up waiting all morning to get a table at your favorite brunch restaurant – we’re talking about childhood hunger in Metro Atlanta. We are angry that childhood hunger exists and we are hungry for change. With many students relying on free school meals, summer break often means hunger. It is unacceptable that in 2017, more than 1 in 4 children will not have access to nutritious meals and snacks this summer in Georgia. Extended periods of hunger during the summer months don’t simply affect a child’s mood; it has a significant impact on their health, brain development, and ability to learn. Fortunately, the solution isn’t rocket science. Support Quality Care for Children’s Summer Food Program to help provide nutritious meals and snacks to children in need at 14 sites in Metro Atlanta this summer break.
