Hunger Exists All Around Us

“Hunger” is an evocative word. Everyone understands what it feels like to be hungry. Our stomachs start rumbling. We get irritable. It becomes hard to think straight. To make those symptoms go away, we eat something. Our stomachs are full, and we are content.

Over 50 million Americans face hunger each and every day including 1 in 4 children. If we think about hunger as most of us experience it, as a temporary sensation, the solution to this problem is straightforward: we just need to get more food to people who don’t have enough.


Why are people hungry?

According to Feeding America, 72% of the households served by its affiliated food banks live at or below 100% of the federal poverty line and have a median annual household income of $9,175. In short, they don’t have enough money to consistently put food on the table. While unemployment is certainly a significant factor, 54% of the households Feeding America serves had at least 1 person employed in the past year. And, as we all know, COVID has made these situations much worse.

What's The Ask???

At this special time of Passover, we are reminded of a statemnet in the  traditional Haggadah. It states: "Kol dichfin yeitei v'yechul. This means, "Let all who are hungry come and eat".
