Feeding America is the nation's largest hunger-relief charity.
A network of over 200 foodbanks nation-wide, Feeding America provides over 3 billion pounds of food and grocery products to individuals in need each year. The number of individuals they serve? 37 million. 14 million of those served are children and another 3 million are seniors.
Here's what they say:
Through the assistance of local and national food assistance programs. Feeding America is able to provide nutritious, fresh foods to Americans struggling with hunger; safe and nurturing places for children to have a meal; emergency assistance for disaster victims, as well as a chance at self-sufficiency for adults trying to break the cycle of poverty and hunger.
Today is Stamp Out Hunger across the United States. Partnering with Feeding America, letter carriers will pick up non-perishable foods at your mailbox and deliver it to your local foodbank.
