Welcome to FEED OUR CHILDREN,
a Washington state non-profit corporation (501 c 3), whose sole mission is
to never let a student ever go hungry in a school where FEED OUR CHILDREN is
involved.
Stop hunger, one school at a time.
No student will ever go hungry in a school where FEED OUR CHILDREN is
involved.
The U. S. D. A. reports that in 2000, nearly one in five
children (10 million) went hungry. Almost three million kids endured a more
severe form of hunger - they ate less or skipped meals.
Hungry children suffer from two to four times as many individual health
problems such as fatigue, headaches, irritability to concentrate and
frequent colds. Children who go to school on an empty stomach do not have
the ability to learn in school because they cannot concentrate or excel on
tasks they need to perform to learn the basics. This in turn leads to lost
knowledge, brainpower and productivity for our nation today and in the
future. Hunger afflicts not only poor children and their families - it
threatens the future of the U. S.
