Hunger Research
Hunger has no boundaries. Hunger impacts the lives of 1 in 8 Americans. Real people of all walks of life struggle with hunger. It does not matter if you live in a suburban, rural or urban setting – hunger lives in our community.
These studies provide comprehensive information on the demographic profiles of charitable food recipients and the nature and efficacy of local agencies in meeting their food security needs. These studies go beyond just the statistics and data – they inform our decisions surrounding the operations of getting food to people in need.
